I always preferred Future Basketball to this. It was more fun trying to lob the ball in a basket from a long way out, if you like speedball then look up FB and you might like it. It's a hidden gem!
What a brilliant game this was/still is. Graphics and gameplay are stunning. Wish there would have been a football game like this. I think it may have come close to SWOS.
56:14 is probably the most INCREDIBLE game winner ever for this game.
8 points down with 9 seconds remaining, their centreforward gets tackled but not before managing to throw the electrified ball at your goalkeeper knocking him over. But JUST as the ball is about cross the goal line the match is stopped because that very player was critically injured by the tackle.
You get 20 points for the injury and win the match. REVERSAL!
une prod BITMAP BROTHERS...des jeux de klité à l'époque..sûrement l'un des meilleurs sinon le meilleur sur Amiga !! un grand moment...il y a déjà 20 ans...je gagnais en 1ere division..mais n'arrivais pas à ma maintenir en 2eme...putain de frustration...héhé...souvenirs souvenirs...Merci !! THxs so much !!
Wow I couldn't find any Speedball vids with the 'ICE CREAM' man on youtube, until I came here. Was beginning to think it was a figment of my childhood imagination, so glad it wasn't! Nevertheless, this was an amazing game, LOVED playing this! Thanks for the upload!
I started a fan page for Dan Malone (the artist on this game) on facebook recently, and via various links and posts I managed to contact Dan himself to talk to him about it, he was very touched his work was still loved...I mean, his work is classic! He even started to upload concept sketches from The Chaos Engine and also the original arena design for Speedball 2.

Can somebody explain me why on these kinds of games (speedball, kick off etc...) for me it was easier to play up, while playing down was always more difficult? I was hating to play down but it was fair anyway ;)
@rojma ..... I guess people are used to playing upwards because of top view shooters and racers etc so your used to that direction, much like tennis games. Fighting games like Street Fighter etc are simular, it feels different when your facing to the left....
Gotta love that sound of the ambulance... BTW sry looks like you're a much better player than me :) I'd still throw more curve balls in the beginning :p
Good playing with the red ball / overall :) BTW I know micro-management is boring but you're using too much money for substitutes IMO. Having one acceptable sub player should do it, at least in the beginning games. Usually it's the computer that gets hurt >:)
One more thing...can't the ball be caught from high above by pressing the throw button in the Amiga version. I've only played the PC version (PC Speaker sounds FTW!)
Guys and Girls. GREAT NEWS!!! Its back! I bought it on the Xbox online store for my 360!!! You can switch to classic mode instead of 3d And it looks exactly the same. Gameplay is still the same. But there are so few people online. Why dont we bring it back and play online together? We can exchange gamertags here and "Lets rumble!!!" Keyword in the message: Ice cream Hehe. Who is with me?
One of the best music intros Ive heard. I enjoyed it so much as a kid, that I taped it from TV to ghetto blaster. I had both ST & Amiga versions - the latter won hands down in every aspect.
Ha ha, you're not kidding. That's gotta be extremely satisfying, especially vs Lethal Formula, the team that's supposed to injure more players than any other.
One of the most addictive games ever produced. God, I loved electrifying the ball against my mates...most satisfying score ever. Brilliant sound, theme tune...did they come any better than this ?
"Ice Cream" LOL i remmember that phrase when my cousin used to laugh every time he scores at me and keep repeating it ice cream ice cream. It burns my nerves hehe, after more than 15 years now and i can see him laughing on my head!
i just ran through a knockout the other day. Full team stats to 240 just before i played Super Nashwan, kicked arse no injuries throughout the whole game. I love this game.
Damals musste das spiel noch etwas können - nicht nur Gut aussehen wie heute
