History

Development

The Master System version of Speedball derives from the IBM PC version^[2]. Graphics were created in The Advanced OCP Art Studio for the Atari ST^[3].

Though the game was not released outside of PAL regions, Speedball on the Master System recognises an NTSC console and adjusts various factors (such as music speed) accordingly^[3].
