"Speedball is coming. Worship this game you hippies"

Speedball is being updated.

This is quite possibly the finest game ever made, and itís being updated with online play capabilities for the PC (might be other formats as well, I donít really care).
If you have never played this game, then you should be ashamed that you are so young as to miss out on the finest video-game experience ever.
This was before we called them video-games, they were known as ìComputer Gamesî and you could eat things like Spangles and Chewitts whilst you waited.
It was on the Amiga and rocked big time.

Whatís it about?
Two teams in an arena.
The metal-ball comes out and you have to punch, kick, shoot, bomb the other team until you can score by slamming into the hole/goal.
Imagine American Football without the nancy protective gear and bombs or chainsaws.

Occasionally you could cripple a player enough that he was carted off by robots with the cry of ìIce CreamÖIce Creamî as the prone body was spirited away.
For every match you won, you earned money to spend on improving players abilities, thus making them even more psychopathic and blood-thirsty.
There were leagues, championships and a two-player mode where you could trounce your mate and dance like a bear when you killed his best players.
Excellent.

And itís being updated and polished.
You should be moist at the prospect of playing this legend in two-player sports-related violence.

I loved Savage Arena Though.

I dunno i never had one or an Amiga or BBC1 or Color TV Game 6 as a matter of fact.

Speedball was wicked on the Amiga.

Goatboy...

Because im so used to spending time with your. Actually I will stop that there, I thought I was on MSN for a minute.

:P

Why is it youre always saying things suck Tilt?.......

I bet it sucks, the 3D updates of games like this tend to suck, but Speedball 2 is still damn good fun.

Just think of the prospects though - Speedball in full flowing 3-D!! Its going to be awesome!!
