Has anyone seen Speedball 2 yet? I have the original (Speedball) and love the game!! I was recently in London and I saw a magazine article that showed some screen shots and told a little about the game play. Just wondering when I'll be able to get my copy. John

Great! Screw Lemmings, I'm waiting for this! 3 questions: 1) How's the animation/sound. I'd think it'd be hard to improve on the first one, here. 2) You're in California. This weekend it hadn't been released in the states, yet. Is it out now? 3) HD installible? (Fat Chance-- I don't really care about this one when it comes to SpeedBall.

[stuff about SpeedBall II]
A little warning: SpeedBallII does not work on my 2000 with a 68010, and
I assume it will also not work with an '020/'030/etc. That's the game
I'm speaking of. The copy protection will probably fail too, since it uses
a very CPU-speed-dependent loop to find out how fast bytes are comming in
from the protection track (i.e. bit density). So if you have an accelerated
machine you'll have to wait for the nice, bug-free, pirated version. :-(

Dan Babcock stated that SpeedBall II does not run on non 68000 based machines.
I am disapointed. I imagine it is a European game. Why is it that so
many Euro Games seem to view the Amiga line as entirely being 1 floppy,
512k stock A500's. It just sickens me. And the games are often the
best around! This sort of shoddy programming, there is just NO
excuse for it in my opinion. Especially when so many of the games
are ones I would LOVE to buy for my A3000!

Does anyone know if SpeedBall 2 runs on an Amiga 3000??
