Football is for wimps. Rugby for girls. In the year 2100, the bloodsport of choice is Speedball, a game that has only one hard-and-fast rule: slam a solid, chromium ball into your opponent’s goal.

Retaining all the outrageous, cyberpunk violence of the original game, Speedball 2100 pits 16 heavily-padded teams against one another in the ultimate futuristic ball-game. Expanding and enhancing the addictive Speedball formula for the PlayStation, the Bitmap Brothers have made several key improvements. Playable in full 3D, with an intelligent camera system that adds an extra, dynamic dimension to the gameplay, Speedball 2100 combines the fast, tactical nature of a sports sim with the satisfying limb-cracking of a beat-’em-up.

Play Speedball as an arcade game, or play it as a sim; take part in knockout tournaments, leagues and extended cup matches; even save your team onto your PlayStation’s memory card to play against a friend
