25/12/01 : Latest Sensi News
Well folks, it's been a while! Still not much has changed in the world of Sensible Software. Still, there are a few things I should mention.

SLOL has entered it's third season and is now in full swing. Sadly, due to other commitments, I had to pull out of my hunt for a second successive promotion, but thankfully there was someone available to fill my spot, and Lowrence is, as always doing a great job in keeping the online SWOS community to survive.

Many SWOS sites are now in-active. SWOS 24/7 is updated very rarely, hopes for a much anticipated return to action for Sensi-Superstar have seemingly, for the meantime at least been dashed, with still no update in sight. Also, a lot of old sites have disappeared thanks to the demise of the Xoom website hosting service.

SWOS 2002 still looks a distant hope, with Codies still refusing to buckle to consumer pressure. With the world cup coming up, Sensi fans may be holding out in hope of a SWOS World Cup 2002. Will it happen? I don't know, but I for one, will have my fingers crossed!

Jon Hare , former Sensi boss is currently working within Codemasters as head-programmer on Mike Tyson boxing - another factor which dashes the hopes for a new Sensi!, bt at least his talents are being utilised.

2001 is, it has to be said, the year that FIFA on the PC turned good, with it actually now possible to play it with less than 20 buttons. It's not Sensi, and it never will be, and it's still scum, but, whilst Codies starve us of further SWOS action, FIFA 2002 may just do the trick for now!

Freddie Hajas, webmaster of SWOS-Brasil, has done the decent thing, and "replaced" the now defunct SWOS-Fans-Association-Ring, by dedicating a section of his site to listing all the current sites around on the 'net. You may have noticed the new "banner" on the fornt pages of this site, and the new link in the SWOS pages. Check it out, he is keen to work hard in keeping this list up to date, so it's probably the best place to go to check out the latest new pages.

Well, I reckon that's pretty much everything in my round up of Sensi news from the past few months. If I've missed anything out, please let me know! I hope you all have a fun festive period, and I look forward to addressing you again in the next update. Whenever that may be...
