Anyone ever played SpeedBall II (computer game)?

It is a game I played at a friend's place years and years ago (7 or 8+), but it was a very fun game. Essentially it was a soccer game where you carried the ball instead of dribbling it. There were a few things that made it unique and fun:

  • Full contact game. You could even hit a guy who didn't have the ball.
  • Could get points for doing special things with the game ball.
  • Could get points for injuring another team's players
  • Got different amount of points for scoring goals from different distances. This was really cool because you could throw the ball from really far and then run to the opposition's goalie and knock him over before the ball got there. If you did this right, then the ball would go into the net before he could get up again and save it.
  • Could energize the game ball so that it would knock one player over before it would lose its energy.
  • Could pick up money during the game and use it to buy better and better players after the game.
  • Could pick up special symbols during the game that would help your team or hinder the other team.

Does anyone know if this game still exists because I am looking to buy a copy. Thanks.

Think I got either Speedball 1 or 2 lying around at home somewhere still. It's the Amiga version though.

Doh!

I checked out Ebay and it looks like they have a Speedball 2100 version for the PS. Any players to compare?
