Many an afternoon was spent at my buddy's house, playing football (that's "Soccer", for you americans who are still here despite the fucking atrocious language) on his Amiga.
Kick Off (and Kick Off 2) was an incredible, top down, tiny-sprite, vertical-scrolling-screen game. The banana kicks, the passing, the shots at goal. The humiliating action replays when you got a goal scored against you. Brilliance!
I've never really played any football games (except some side scrolling arcade thing I recently rediscovered on MAME) since those heady days of my early 20s. And I have no wish to.
In fact, I think I'm going to have to track down Kick Off & Kick Off 2 and an Amiga Emulator, track down my old mate too and relive those misspent days of the early 90s one of these upcoming winter evenings.
Anyone else a fan?
Edit: Screw the Amiga emulator, I just found a DOS version of Kick Off 2 at the Underdogs.
The best football game ever - Kick Off on the amiga.
