I only encountered it on my PC, and well after its release date. But
it was the far inferior version even when it was new. It lacked the
same color gamut and the animation was a lot less smooth. A very
disappointing game on that platform.

The sequels - appropriately named "Speedball 2" (Brutal Deluxe!) were
a lot more competitive visually (the Amiga32 still had the advantage,
but in the PC vs plain-Jane Amiga, it was pretty much a wash). But
lacking the popularity of the first game on the PC platform, the
sequel didn't make much waves on IBM/PCs either.
