LATEST ON ULTIMATE CF 2000 - 31/7/1999
I am very pleased to announce that Ultimate Cannon
Fodder 2 is VERY near to completion,
and SHOULD open tomorrow! It is a site which I am very proud
of, infact it may be my finest creation to date. It will feature
:
* Reviews of Cannon Fodder 1 and 2 from various sources
* An insight into the making of Cannon Fodder 1 and 2
* Articles on the controversy caused by Cannon Fodder 1 featuring
poppy images.
* Information on all the vehicles, buildings and lanscapes used
by both versions of Cannon Fodderm including authentic sound
effects, and animations.
* A league table of CF soldiers
* Lot's of cool sounds to listen to.
* A page entitled '10 nasty ways to die', which has some hilariously
cool animations on it.
* A brave attempt to explain the CF2 plot, with the CF2 story.
And loads more. Check it out from late tomorrow. Hopefully.
The address will probably be http://ultimatecf2000.cjb.net
or something.
LE MARS GIVEN CHANCE TO SHINE - 20/7/1999
After recently taking a break from the game, enigmatic midfield
maestro Phillip Le Marsay has been given the opportunity to
kick-start his footballing career in a special friendly this
Sunday. Le Mars has been pencilled in to a midfield position
for "The Spraire Senior team", and if he impresses
in this game, he could be offered a long term position, and
a route back to the big time. Chances like this don't come along
too often, and Le Mars may be entering last chance saloon this
weekend. Phillip had the following comment :
"This is a great chance for me to re-launch
my career, but I haven't played at this level for a while
and I'm not getting my hopes up."
ANOTHER SENSI-SATIONAL EXCLUSIVE - ENDULGE
IN SOME RETRO SENSI SOFTWARE GAMING!! - 17/7/1999
Have you ever wanted to play all of Sensible Softwares Commodore
64 games, but never known how to, or never been bothered to
spend hours searching for all the right files? Well, if so,
go to the SENSIBLE STORY section of SensiSational, right now!
( http://sensistory.cjb.net ) where
you can now find a C64 emulater, and a zip file of most of Sensi's
C64 games.
Even if you have never previously been interested
in such things, I still reccomend you download the files, because
these are games from a golden age of gaming, when graphics could
not sell a game, and when gameplay was of the utmost importance.
Some of these games are real crackers, and I STRONGLY RECCOMEND
YOU GIVE THEM A TRY!

ULTIMATE CANNON FODDER 2000 ON IT'S WAY
- 12/7/1999
Ultimate Cannon Fodder 2 is undergoing a reconstruction . This
is because it was so bad, and neglected, that at best it was
detrimental to SensiSationals reputation and at worst, a danger
to human life. The site is getting a major revamp which will
actually make it worth visiting. Expect Ultimate Cannon Fodder
2000, to appear either this, or next weekend.
NEW SWOS TOURNAMENT - 10/7/1999
Mr James Consterdine has done the decent thing and started up
another new SWOS tournament. He urges that he is not trying
to rival Jarkko's tournament, but simply triying to give us
Sensi fans more choice, and another great tournament to take
part in. The tournament is radically different to Jarkko's,
and promises to take up much less of your life (although whether
that's a good thing or not is debatable!) For more information,
and to sign up, go to : http://www.angelfire.com/sc/swos1/
MORE COOL PROJECT STUFF- 9/7/1999
As the English Club Edition project (see http://englishclub.cjb.net
) continues to advance, new opportunities, and ideas keep presenting
themselves. Recently Jarkko has joined us, as our graphics specialist,
and now I am looking into the possibility of getting some new
commentary files to bundle together with the patch. If, by any
chance, you have some good commentary files lying around (preferably
not J. Davies!) in wave file format, then please do not hesitate
to contact me at : phillip@lemars.freeserve.co.uk.
A SHAME ON IT'S NAME - 9/7/1999
A quote from PC GAMER this month, regarding FA Premier League
Stars (EA Sports):
"What we have here is something that's
best compared to ageing Amiga classic Sensible World Of Soccer."
I'm sorry, but how can you compare a game where
you can only control a team from the English Premier league,
where a transfer market is non-existent, competitions are phony
and options are limited, with a game that allows you to play
any team, from any country, in any real competition in the whole
world, and where you can also buy and sell players from any
team in the world, play a full 20 year career, with the option
of international management, as well as making up your own competitions,
and much much more.
SWOS Vs FA Premier League stars - there's no comparison.
SENSI STILL POPULAR, WIZBALL SHOCKER!-
9/7/1999
In the latest edition of PC GAMER magazine, SENSIBLE SOCCER
was voted as the 51st best game ever by it's readers - not a
bad achievement for an old game in a rapidly advancing market.
More surprising, however was the appearance of Sensible Softwares
ancient, 12 year old game, WIZBALL, at number 85.
In the official PC GAMER top 100, Sensi came in at 99.

THE ENIGMA ROARS BACK AS ANNA FALTERS
- 1/7/1999
The Enigma's tennis career looks to be back on track, after
a 7-5, 4-6, 6-2 victory in only his second game in almost a
year, because of injury problems. The Enigma broke serve at
5-5 in the first set after being 5-4 down and went on to serve
out for the set. His opponent got his game together in the second
set, and things looked pretty tight in the thirs, with both
players cearly suffering from fatigue, until The Enigma strung
together a series of magical shots to stretch away for a hard
fought victory.
Meanwhile, high profile close friend of The Enigma, Anna Kournikova
has crashed out of Wimbledon, despite being a set ahead at one
point. Everyone at SensiSational Y2K would like to send our
commiserations to Anna.
SensiSational Y2K would also like to wish Tim Henman all the
best for his semi final meeting with Mr Sampras.
