SNES The Chaos Engine

Another classic Amiga game from The Bitmap Brothers, the SNES conversion was, fortunately, quite faithfull. It really is a shame Speedball 2 never made it to the system. One curious note of censoship, one of the 6 mercs, "The Preacher", was renamed "The Scientist" for the console versions....ah, religion... enjoy the vid, notice the music from the intro and level 1.

The greatest game music ever created.

This game is so damn good.

I played it 10 years ago with a friend on my Amiga... with a Sega Master System pad.

I miss the old good times. =(

@ShiryuGL Speedball evolution looks good. I like the way it is available for android too.

@TableWolfMusic I would make a Super Speedball 2 version on the SNES that would be as close as possible to the Amiga original but with all the cool extras found on today's Speedball 2 Evolution. Make sure you check out

@TableWolfMusic I have recently afquired Speedballl 2 Evolution fot the PSP (digital download) and also still have the PSX original boxed version. If you say that Speedball 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, you would nt be lying. And since the Super Nintendo is my favourite console of all time (along with the Wii, but the Wii cheats because it's also a GameCube and emulates older consoles), truly if I could turn back time,

@TableWolfMusic I actuallyl have the PAL Speedball 2 Megadrive cart (as new, boxed and manual) and it's so much better then the US version (the music is completly different). I also have the GBA version (aso fully boxed) and the GBA Gamecube Player.

@ShiryuGL Ah yes, I forgot about the master system version!! Thanks for the reminder. I have it on the gameboy, like you say. Man, I love speedball2. I even like it so much I have its later release versions such as the ps1 and PC 3D version. Would be great to get an xbox360 and playing the 3D version on that. I really quite like the ps1 version (2100). I don't have the atari st version (or an ST for that matter) or megadrive. The gameboy version running through a gamecube is awesome.

@TableWolfMusic Speedball 2 also made it to Master System and even the original GameBoy.

@AmigaFan78 I remember magazines at the time complaining that the characters seemed smaller on the a1200 (and presumably its cd32 port).

I should point out that in the description of this video, it says that speedball2 never made it to the snes. True although it did make it to the megadrive and more importantly to the gameboy advance,

I started a fan page for Dan Malone (the artist on this game) on facebook, 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.
