"Speedball" played: The 1990 Amiga classic is back
Rebellion brings "Speedball" back after 36 years – but the essence of the original evaporates in a soulless reinterpretation.

Somewhat unsurprised. I increasingly feel that remaking iconic old games is a bad idea and nostalgia alone cannot be used to justify it.
Make the original game available for sale again instead. Make it easily accessible on modern machines so that younger players have a chance to try it out, and older ones can pick it up even if they don't have the skills to setup an emulator.
