I'll never forget the first time I played the original Kick Off. Prior to that, the best footy game out was Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, a Commodore 64 game based on an even older game simply called 'International Soccer.' And for you really old farts out there, remember the Intellivision soccer, which was jaw-dropping at the time compared to the Atari console. 3D 'style' graphics on a console at that time was revolutionary. But Kick Off and Kick Off 2 were just fantastic at the time.
There has never been a football game where you had so much control over the players and the ball. And all of this was acheived with a joystick and a single button. ONE BUTTON! Amazing...
Kick Off 2 and player manager are my favourite football games ever. Kick Off took a lot more practise and skill than sensible soccer and winning was more satisfying. It was better in almost every respect. Player Manager was seriously addictive too.
brill game..i had massive tourneys with my friends in the 90s...my fav goals were aftertouch..my player manager team was really amzing..i got a super team by keep realoding after season to get the 1000k ranked players..2 superstars every season..my team was awsome
i remember when i was playing this game with my father, if Barber got a red card in the first half, the second half was playing again :-) thank you for the good memories.. great game..
An Amiga Footie Classic. Had many a competitive game with my old mate back in the very early 90's. Always managed to get the better of the keeper by charging up the wing then quickly cutting in diagnolly. Cheers for the memories.
@mozg You're right dude! This game is famous for 2 things: blind referee and handicapped goal keeper. Kick off is a lot faster and rougher than SWOS which makes it more like "speedball" on grass. :)
In 1994 I went to Manchester for the Kick Off National Championships at the gamestore 'GAME' and I came fifth. Wot an amazing game! My main player on the Player Manager Version was E B Phillips! He had stamina and rescilience!
I think i was just as good as the guy playing this game. Made my own tactics and teams in Player Manager and loaded them in Kick-Off. I really was unbeatable. this game was the reason that i dropped out of school.......................
Sensible Soccer was for people who couldn't play Kick Off 2. That's why they thought it was better, because it suited their abilities. Kick Off 2 is still the best football game ever. I should know. I'm the 2002 world champion after all.
Compared to other in terms of graphics it looks shitty...but for those who played itseriously like me, this was THE bet soccer game ever made. I used to have a friend who played as good as me and i mde games of 20 minutes each half and the scores were like 1-1, 2-1...I had 5 or 6disks filled with saved goals. I wish that my Amiga still works...I would trade any PES or FIFA´s 17´s for good old Kick Off 2!!
Fab video - I remember scoring exactly the same goals myself!!! There were a couple you didn't quite get there though (not necessarily glorious) - bicycle kicks from crosses (expanded version only?), Nicholls running straight down the middle then just bending in with aftertouch.... plus bundling the keeper with a header when he tries to throw it out!
Forget Gascoigne, Gullit and Platini - the best player to emerge from the 80s was R.Barber!!!
no offense but what a bunch o lame goals.. i have myself a dussin of saved goals from kikcoff 2 that are GREAT!.. maybe'll i put some of them here on youtube! Kickoff2 rox!
Myself and my cousin sat down one day and played a full season taking turns at playing the computer. We won every single game.... and i drew the last one.. we were raging after playing for hours and hours all day during the summer to draw our last league game! I loved that game.
Amazing choice of music. Great skill too. Wish I could have played KO2 like that!
