2326 AD Season!

Speedball 2 HD, a modern reincarnation of the Amiga ultra-violent Bitmap Brothers futuristic sports game, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/speedball_2_hd][/url]The legendary 1990 Amiga "sports" classic, Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe returns in the vastly updated form of Speedball 2 HD, bringing back all the classic excitement of the futuristic violent showdown. It looks, sleek but nostalgic and plays just as you remember, or better! Or maybe you never played Speedball 2? Well then, it's about time you tried. It comes with over 300 unique players featured in 28 teams--one of which you'll manage--representing 4 different planets. It provides hardcore, fast-paced gameplay, and takes absolutely no prisoners. Whether you like lite sports manager games, ball games, or simply enjoy brutal full-contact competition on your computer screen, this one has you covered. Try it out with a friend for maximum excitement!

Reach for the victory, and be sure there will be blood, sweat, and tears on the way in Speedball 2 HD, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 20% off release discount offer will last until Thursday, December 12, at 3:29PM GMT.
Is this anything like Mutant League Football for the ol' Sega Genesis? If so, I'll get this.
Icecream!
What the hell is this, never seen it before. Well I did but that was with James Caan and it was 35 years ago.

I'm broke but I'll keep an eye on it for the future.
To be perfectly honest, I'd have been much more interested in the original, especially the Amiga version.

Damn, beat me to it! :) Fond memories of the Amiga version.
Nice Release! I used to play the C64 version back in the day and i'll have to try this remake sometime. Put it on my wishlist for now.
(Perhaps GOG should have two release dates for this.)

Nice to see Zombie Shooter wasn't the only game today, and we get a good game with a release date I can call a "classic". ;)

(although I'm not entirely sure how I should feel about Bitmap Bros. and Mastertronic trying to make a few extra bucks by "HD"-ing their games; maybe this and Chaos Engine are worth 9.99 for taking the time to port from Amiga?)

Also, is there a soundtrack to this game? If so, anyone know why GOG wouldn't have added it? We have the Chaos Engine OST, so I'm curious. Extras are weak, although that's a LOT of avatars.

Wishlisted for now.
Hmm, I preferred the old graphics to be honest.
It is good that you guys added this title on time though.
Might get it during a very good sale, but I doubt it.
Any differences in multiplayer vs Steam, like in The Chaos Engine?
oooooooooh so tempted.

But not sure if thats cos I loved the Amiga version so much or if I would really like this version.

I've been pretty disappointed with the "Amiga" games available on GOG (no reflection on GOG) on my PC - just something lacking, not quite the same but cant quite put my finger on it...

Please bring us (ME!) Hyperblade next. That was a violent sports game with a really nice soundtrack.

Cool release. Curious though, anyone know who owns Z or Steel Soldiers?
