November 26th 2008 11:46
Speedball 2 was released in 1990 and produced by the Bitmap Brothers. It became one of their most successful titles.

Speedball is played about 100 years in the future in a steel arena with a steel ball. The only rule is to get the ball into your opponent’s goal and score points. Each match lasts exactly 3 minutes. You can hit and injure other players as much as you like, and they will do the same to you. Each team has 9 players on court with three subs and the computer will toggle players so you control the one closest to the ball. You also score points for injuring players. Injured players can be substituted but if you run out of subs then too bad. There are targets on the floor and walls which can be hit for bonus points. Originally you will receive 10 points for a goal but this can be increased to 15 or 20 via the use of these score multipliers. You have five game modes to choose from. knockout, cup, league, practise and multiplayer.

The aim of Stunt Pilot is to complete all the courses and fly through the rings without crashing. The controls are simple to learn yet hard to master. Use the up and down arrow keys to fly. (In the controls menu you can set up to mean down or vice versa).

The controls and graphics are nice and slick making Stunt Pilot a fun, free game to try
