Eight different teams representing various nations are vying to become the Powerball champions, and you control one of the eight in your quest for the championship. A hybrid of games like rugby and football,
Powerball is played on a 100-yard field, as you try to score by either carrying the ball into your opponent's end zone or kicking it into your opponent's net for a certain amount of points. This one- or two-player game offers both exhibition and league play.
Jump into a game of Powerball and try a brand-new sport!

It is a little like other games of the time (BIll Lambert's Combat Basketball ect), but it has a feel of it's own (and it's fun). I remember playing this game for hours with a friend trying to beat the league standings.

This is actually one of my favorite games. I owned this on the Genesis, and I would definitely purchase this if they would make it available in the US. It has a great deal of replay value as well.

I was expecting this to be a tribute to excellent gameshow Gladiators- I was left disapointed

Never played Speedball, but would you say this game is akin to a Kunio football game?

wasn't this on the SNES? If so why are we getting the genesis/mega drive version? I may be thinking of something else though.

This is a Speedball clone, and it's rather poor.
