Speedball is a futuristic cyberpunk sports game developed by Bitmap Brothers and released in 1988, becoming one of the Amiga's most iconic titles. The game features a brutal, high-speed hybrid of handball and ice hockey played by armored teams in a steel arena, renowned for its distinctive metallic visual style and smooth animation that leveraged the Amiga's blitter hardware. It showcased the system's strengths with fast-paced scrolling, impactful digitized sound effects, and responsive controls, establishing a template for subsequent Bitmap Brothers releases and Amiga sports games.
