Speedball 2 - Not working

Metalface Mark · 29 Jul 2008 at 13:21

I know its probably not the best game in the world, but i picked it up for a fiver, trouble is, it wont work, it just hangs at the splash screen, and google has next to no info on it, the official forums are terrible and dont offer any solutions.

Ive emailed customer support a week ago and had no reply, so this is my last port of call before i throw it in the bin.

Has anyone had a similar problem and got it working?

Mark... i think it's a cracker of a game once you get over the first bout of trouncings and figure out a few tactics and build your guys up.

I last had it working with win98, and haven't tried with xp nor vista. What are you running on?

I may well try digging it out again myself

vista 64.

I managed to get it running once in a window at 1024x786, launched the game, loaded full screen and it wouldnt load again.

Im desperate to play it and cant!

Got a old PC with Windows 98?

Its not the old speedball badbob, its the one released last year, the support from the developer is chronic.

oh, didn't realise it was the "tournament" version (saw your other thread)

blinkin annoying when something is released so recently with no support
