No of players - 2 player
Sensible Softwares first venture into the world
of football was highly successful and this game was widely regarded
as the best football game available for the Commodore 64, and
was also rewarded with several awards and accolades.
The game allows you to play through a whole world
cup, as well as playing one or two player friendlys and leagues
and the Microprose International Challenge - an option which was
recently re-incarnated in Sensible Soccer 98.
There was also a 6-a-side spin off of the game,
imaginatively titled 'Microprose Soccer 6-a-side' which offered
the same options, but on an indoor court and with six men instead
of 11.
The game is typical of Sensible Software, and years
ahead if it's time. The action is fast and furious, and the attention
to detail which Sensible Software is built on, is evident here,
with nice little touches, including changing weather conditions,
the option to play in black and white and the introduction of
'the banana shot'. It's a challenging, and highly playable game,
that can still help you pass a few hours, even in todays high
tech 3D polygon world.
