Play Speedball 2 (europe) Online

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe came out for the Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive in Europe, in 1990. It was developed by The Bitmap Brothers. On a system filled with platformers and shooters, this game offered a different kind of competition, a futuristic sport that felt both fresh and punishing.

You control a team of armored players in a metal arena. The main objective is to outscore the opposing team by throwing the ball into their goal, but you can also earn points by hitting opponents, activating bumpers on the arena walls, and collecting coins that occasionally drop. Two signature mechanics are the upgrade system, where you spend money earned in matches to improve your players' attributes, and the constant physicality, where tackling and throwing opponents into electrified walls is as valid a strategy as scoring goals. The pacing is relentless; the game does not stop, and the computer opponents are notoriously aggressive. It feels like a chaotic, high-stakes brawl where a single mistake can cost you the match.
