Speedball / Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe – Cane and Rinse No.172

"Ice cream! Ice cream!" A dystopic vision (late 80s/early 90s style) of bone-crunching, metallic future sports, courtesy of the famous Bitmap Bros, first Speedball and then Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe captured the imagination of many gamers over a quarter of a century ago. Leon, Darren and Tony celebrate the frenetic violence of the first two games in the series and their myriad ports, as well as scrutinise recent re-releases of Speedball 2 and even shoulder-barge the shortlist of disappointing follow-ups into the advertising hoardings. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_172.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Speedball by David Whittaker 2: Brutal Deluxe by Nation 12/Richard Joseph Cane and Rinse 172 was edited by Jay Taylor Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
