IIRC, I played it on my IBM PS/2 model 30 286 10 Mhz PC. It was cool. :)

Speedball was a sci-fi action/sports game released in the late 80s
developed by the Bitmap Brothers. Although it came to DOS computers,
it was most popular on Amiga (it also saw ports to the 8-bit consoles
of the time). It got a sequel a few years later, but after that the
franchise languished. IIRC, there were a couple of HD remakes in the
early 2000s but other than that? Nothing.
It just got a brand new remake released to Steam today.
It actually looks quite good, for what it is. The game itself is an
odd futuristic mix of American football, basketball and soccer (e.g.
real football ;-), and is more action-game than sports title. I'll
admit, I don't actually _care_ for the game, but a part of me is
intrigued by the release. Partly because of its history, partly
because it seems a stealth release (by Rebellion Games, of all people)
and partly because if I _were_ going to play a sports title, it
probably would be this one.
Anyway, if you're one of the oddballs who remembers the original,
maybe take a look.
