Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe is a violent, futuristic sports game released for the Sega Genesis in 1991 by The Bitmap Brothers. Combining the pacing of ice hockey with the mechanics of handball, you lead a cybernetic team called Brutal Deluxe in a hyper-aggressive league. The objective is to score points by throwing the solid steel ball into the opponent’s goal or hitting scoring bumpers and stars scattered across the arena, all while tackling and injuring the opposing players.
How to Play
Control your team using the Arrow Keys to move and pass or tackle with Z, X, or C (mapped to the Genesis A, B, and C buttons). Use Enter for Start to pause or navigate menus. In defense, you can slide-tackle opponents to strip the ballโor just deal enough damage to have them stretchered off the pitch for bonus points.
Tips
- Use the environment: Hitting the bounce domes and star multipliers on the walls can dramatically swing the score without needing a goal.
- Upgrade strategically: Collect coins during the match to buy crucial stamina and speed upgrades for your team between games.
