FOUND! (Was: looking for pc title to 90s game)

[MaxDepth]

Things that I can remember:
- Came out in the early 90s
- installed by diskette
- game had north to south direction (up or down)
- You owned a sporting team franchise
- Game consisted of 5-7 players passing a steel ball to shoot through a hoop at each end.
- You could intercept passes but you could also overpower the other team's person to take the ball away.
- for each game won you got cash to spend on improvements and better players.
- once you won a league title you moved into a higher league.

Found it: Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe

I think I handed over most of my paychecks to the Bitmap Brothers for their games in those early years. Pretty great sound and music for such early games.
