Speedball

Future sports brutality. Fast, violent, and tactical. It laid the groundwork for the legendary sequel.

Before Speedball 2 became the legend, the original Speedball set the rules: steel ball, armored players, no referee. It’s a violent hybrid of handball and hockey played at breakneck speed. The C64 version captures the metallic, cold aesthetic perfectly.

The gameplay is faster than you expect. Passing is crisp, tackling is satisfyingly crunchy, and the flow of the game requires quick thinking. You aren't just reacting; you're setting up plays while trying to avoid getting punched in the face. It’s a raw, aggressive sports game that feels great to master.
