Speedball was one of the greatest games on the Commodore Amiga computer (and ST but let's not talk about that POS - spit).
Written by the Bitmap Brothers and published in 1991, it combined elements of the film "
Rollerball" and... a computer game. Extreme violence coupled with super-smooth graphics and crunching sound ensured a two-player contest between you and your best mate ended up in
fisticuffs.
A sequel was written, Speedball 2, which captured all of the elements of the first game but introduced eight-way scrolling, extra ways to gain points and even more violence.
Luvverly.
