    No one interested in future sports games? My favourite is still Speedball 2. The Amiga version is always fun to play with a friend. Soccer Brawl is also a great game, so I go back to it now and then. Brutal Sports Football is really good on the Amiga; the Jaguar version is even better imo, so one of the better Jag games.

      Soccer Brawl. I must have spent my entire comprehensive school dinner breaks and dinner money, playing that game; no wonder I was only 7 and half stone all through my comprehensive days and had a six pack.

      So miss those days on all counts

        I really need to go on the Soccer Brawl diet. My best mate at the time was also really skinny because he spent all his money on magazines, arcade machines, and games.

        It's a huge shame that SNK didn't put Soccer Brawl on the tabletop Neo Geo.

          It was the best diet of them all, Good times. I don't think I ever acutally spent any of my school dinner money on food, it either went to Arcade games on my dinner break or saving up for a MD or MS game. Loved Soccer Brawl and still love playing it now.

          Yeah, its gutting its not on the Neo Geo Classic

                Yeah, I remember first seeing it in a Brighton arcade - the graphics really impressed me. The colourful graphics, big bold sprites, and intense action made it the most impressive sports game I'd seen.
