Inept Reviews: International Match Day

[Guttermouth]

Should be called International Mincing Day, judging by the way the players move.

[MagikGimp]

Rattles and scarves, jumpers for goalposts...

Woot the loading screen.

"GNNNNNNGNNNNNNNGRNNNNNNNGGGGG­GG!"

after 25 mins of that shit you made damn sure to enjoy whatever you'd loaded up.

Match day 2 was far better in my opinion! :-)

Just wondered, did you ever play match day 3 on the playstation?? Super match soccer ?? If you did, did you rate it??

[collieuk]

I never played it. It was apparently a disaster and pretty much died a quick death. It's a shame, but many of the 8-bit programmers struggled to recapture their glory days when moving onto the more modern platforms. I remember Mike Singleton's awful Lords of Midnight game for the PC - what a load of poo that was.

Plesk.

[vogras]

god, i loved this game as a nipper, yeah, the crowd were scary as a mother fucker..the evil dead as the crowd!

[RevStaplehurst]

Winning 14-0 every game once you got the hang of it.. lovely!

[cantotona]

the crowd of skulls or zombies...

Along with the Emlyn Hughes game, this was one of the best football games on the Spectrum.

[collieuk]

Emlyn Hughes gets my vote for the best. I really must get around to completing my review for it.

When I was a kid it used to freak me out how the crowd look like a load of ghosts - or zombies.

[vander30]

all the game the ball is out.

[collieuk]

This is my new favourite comment! I agree.

About on par with c64's 'International Soccer', speed and playwise. Not as colorful, granted, but it IS clever to distinguish the player you control from your teammates via the boots.

I figured out the menu controls later when I was more awake. How embarrassing that it had me stumped at the time. I wasn't very awake to be fair though.
