Play Speed Ball 2 – Brutal Deluxe Online

Speed Ball 2: Brutal Deluxe came out on the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed by The Bitmap Brothers. It was part of that wave of games that pushed the hardware with its fast, gritty style, standing out from the more colorful platformers common at the time.

You control a team of armored players in a violent future sport that's more like a brawl than hockey. The main goal is to score by throwing a metal ball into the opponent's goal, but you spend just as much time punching and tackling the other team to steal the ball or simply knock them out. You earn money during matches by scoring or injuring opponents, which you use between levels to upgrade your players' speed, strength, and armor. The game moves incredibly fast, and the difficulty spikes quickly, demanding quick reflexes and aggressive play. It feels like managing a street fight disguised as a sport.
