Blood Bowl - Intro (DOS / 1995)

[Lumpytoast]

Oh wow, this is from the same developer responsible for Darkseed 2.

Did that football kill Rita?

[Fawp]

I found this game with the box in good condition and all, in a goodwill store under a bunch of old music casettes.

Needless to say i grabbed it and blitzed through the mass of old people and hipsters that filled the place to secure this in my collection.

6 people fumbled a quick pass

[TonPappa]

and why cant American football be this exciting?!!??

[InsertDisk2]

Lack of Orcs and players fused to their armor through influence of dark chaos magic.

And maybe a few other things.

[zekenstyne]

where and how can i play this game again, short of bying a 486 to run it on, is there a way to find and play it on modern PCs?

[psyku]

Dosbox and there is a remake in august 2009

[lovec0]

thank god we got PC's now...

[InsertDisk2]

This is on PC?!

Besides, this is much closer to the boardgame than the latest Blood Bowl game.

[FredDude27]

I think lovec0 made an epic-fail!

[Aslaug75]

It's not the Darkside Cowboys in the video. It's the old Reikland Reavers ... that used to be their team colours. The Cowboys always played in silver and black and in typical Dark Elf gear. Not that it matters. Skavenblight Scramblers for the winwin! EEK!!

[InsertDisk2]

The info text is from the back of the box, I just used it for completeness' sake. Of course it's not the Darkside Cowboys in the intro.

[peod666]

It's kinda scary... dont you think?

[InsertDisk2]

It's not fun and games you know... you can die out there on the (battle)playfield.

[Madisonmofo]

I played the hell out of this game.

[Aenimus84]

Most badass theme ever.

[BattleGolferYui]

Blood Bowl... MY GOD, I LOVED THIS GAME!!! And you FREAKING ROCK for uploading this!!!

[SamuelVines]

Thanks for uploading.

While you guys wait for the new Blood Bowl game, just check out Chaos League (also by Cyanide Studios). I like it a lot.

[clemens101]

nice dos animation

[Imbalina]

This game is awesome, played it many years, im now hoping that the new Xbox360 game Blood Bowl will give back some of the old fun. Turn based gameplay is perfect!

[Swateh]

I am honestly obsessed with this theme song. I love it so much. I used to play this game all the time with my dad, darkside cowboys FTW!

[W4RW017]

Holy crap this is so cool! This is the kind of stuff people can do at home now ^^ (And it gives a really neat "earhtly" charm to old skool games)

[Rrocketo]

awesome.

blood bowl rox IRL and in videogames too.

[InsertDisk2]

Aye, sir!

[Unique12343241]

Were can i get a copy of this game anyone??

[BattleGolferYui]

You can download it. But, I would reccomend having the disc and DOSBox...

[billthebutcher5665]

[deadbydayinblack]

Good game you can get it from "home of the underdogs"

[nikkolascooke]

what game is this??

[JasonPotapoff]

Blood Bowl. Hence the title of the video

[Arilouu]

awesome

[InsertDisk2]

Your nickname isn't inspired by StarControl now, is it?

[Arilouu]

correct, you are from old school ^^ Starcontrol was a awesome game too, highly recomended

[InsertDisk2]

I loved StarControl, but StarControl II is like even better than perfect. The humor, the music, the visuals, the voice-overs!

I am really glad one can relive the experience on modern computers thanks to "The Ur-Quan Masters"

[learsir]

I´m the best blood bowl player in the world

Buscadme en Avilés Asturias España Spain

[AenirMSFL]

Its old, I had fun with it, also the computer never seemed to take too long for me, I wish in season mode there were more than the 5 or so free agents per team :D

[OlaftheFlashy]

never knew their was a blood bowl computer game. Look like cheesey fun.

[InsertDisk2]

Yeah, if you don't mind the slow-thinking computer it's awesome, one hell of a fun game in network-play!

[AenirMSFL]

I cant wait to see arby beef biter

Izzi da frog and others!! :D

[AenirMSFL]

I wish there was an official version out for PC now-a-days!

[InsertDisk2]

There is one in the making, by the guys that brought us Chaos League (which is a blatant rip-off from Blood Bowl).

[AenirMSFL]

LOL, i had chaos league, it was ok but Sorely lacking in some of the stuff that made blood bowl blood bowl :D

[InsertDisk2]

Yeah, well... this time around, they have the full license, so there should be everything in that made Blood Bowl Blood Bowl :)
