Sci-Fi

Aggressive, high-octane sports action defines this brutal take on a futuristic team game. Speedball's core loop revolves around mastering the brutal physics of the arena, slamming opponents into walls, and scoring goals via a combination of skill and calculated violence. Its focus on arcade-style accessibility, alongside a surprisingly deep tactical layer, ensured its legacy as a multiplayer favourite, even if its brutal gameplay left you bruised.
Speedball is a futuristic football-like game which takes place on a steel walled floored pitch, 160 feet long by 90 feet wide. There are two teams, and the team scoring the most goals wins. There is a goal at each end of the pitch and a ball warp tunnel in each side of the wall. The warp tunnels can warp a ball from one tunnel to another. The ball is launched from the center of the pit by the automatic launcher in a random direction. There also bounce domes, off of which the ball will be deflected, but over which players are free to move.
