Im yet to meet anyone else who agrees with me that Speedball was the better of the two games. The sequel killed a lot of the fun for me, Speedball was always about simple, hardcore battling yet the expansion of the game for the sequel removed the games purity, with needless extras and larger more complex environments. Sometimes, as they say, less is most definitly more and I feel that applies here. No doubt Ill be the only one however..

Speedball Vs Speedball 2

I'm somewhat embarassed to admit I've never played the original. However, I do have fond memories of hours and hours on the Amiga version, and eventually nabbed the (completely bastardised) Megadrive version of 2.
What were the actual differences?
I liked the whole upgrade-a-thon aspect of 2, I gather 1 didn't have this?

Speedball 1 was much trimmed down compaired to the second. It had nothing on the sides of the arena (afaik) and no way of powering up the ball during play.
I guess it could be seen as the more 'pure' game, but Speedball 2 offered the better experience in my opinion.
Incidently, read my Deathrow review on the main site now, I try to detail the failing of the (potentially superb, I must add) future sports genre.
