DX-Ball 2 is a purchasable computer game for the PC first released on December 21, 1998 by Longbow Digital Arts as a follow up to the widely popular 1996 game DX-Ball. Like the original, it is patterned after classic ball-and-paddle arcade games such as Breakout and Arkanoid.
Two sequels, Rival Ball (2001) and Rival Ball Tournament (2004), have been released.
Longbow Digital Arts did not produce the original DX-Ball, although Seumas McNally, the lead programmer and designer of DX-Ball 2 was involved in the development of the original title. The original developer of DX-Ball, Blitwise Productions, has also released an alternative sequel, Super DX-Ball (2004).
It may also be noted that, if one lets the credits (played upon entry into the program) run to the end and then continue for some time, the sentence "The meaning of life is..." appears, followed by "the defeat of entropy. You thought I was going to say 42, didn't you? Hah."
