BRISTOL86 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Anyone remember this absolute belter of a game? My childhood - when indoors - was spent playing this on our old Amiga. I've just found this Basically just download the top link here http://www.sensiblesoccer.de/community/downloads And install and away you go. You can even play online I think though I'm just enjoying the "classic" game at the moment! Even has accurate teams up to (looking at the BCFC squad) the 12/13 season First game in 20 years and I even managed a draw against Barcelona, I haven't lost it.

Barrs Court Red Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Good god, I wasted days/ hours of my life on this game! It had a transfer system that actually let you play with the players you bought. This was a first and I loved it. I seemed to spend most of my early time turning Albanian team Dinamo Tirana from a bunch of part team no hopers into a top team. Always hated the City forwards. Torpey had no pace but Matt Hewlet was like lighting, and obviously Goodridge. Used to buy Ronnia Mauge and some guy from Wrexham (Chalk) and use this pace to rise up the leagues. I doubt we'll ever see such a perfect, ground breaking football game, in todays bland world of FIFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 There was a cheat to get free players if doing a part exchange an you got to keep your own player. Andy Payton from Burnley I think had an amazing shot on him that went through the goalkeeper. I also love scoring pretty much every goal the same way... Run towards penalty area, slightly left or right of centre and shoot curling it towards the opposite side. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 When this came out first time around on the Commodore Amiga, my cousin was a professional footballer in Australia. It was pretty cool having a family member in there. Shame the team he was playing for were shite! It's a classic game, you can stick Kick Off 2 alongside it as well.

One of the most robust controllers ever and a classic design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I randomly came across these a few months back. The history of sensible soccer, how it started all the way through to how it ended. There are 4 parts, all about 20mins long. I watched them all in a row and found it quite interesting. Did you know they attempted a 3d football game Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part4 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have spent several evenings going down memory lane on this site... http://thecompany.pl/game All the games just run with a double click, no need to mess about with emulators. All the Kick Off games are built into a hefty 6mb download! http://thecompany.pl/game/Kick+Off+2:+Return+To+Europe It's a great site, if there was an Amiga game you remember playing, it will be on there.

Gazred Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 does anyone know how i can get amiga games on a mac? Depending on how easy you find faffing about with stuff, you'll need an emulator, such as http://fs-uae.net/ then grab some ROMs. Just google "Amiga Roms" and you'll find plenty. I have only emulated on PC, but id guess it works much the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
