Day Of The Match

Video Software is anxious that the instructions should not be misunderstood. First they are printed on the inlay card, secondly on a separate sheet, and finally, given in a spoken commentary on the reverse of the cassette!

Should you wish to promote the team you support, this program will make it easy for you. If you understand how to balance skill and luck or strength, fitness, defence, attack, effort, or even the manager, then you may influence them by giving them values from 0 to 9.

Whether you decide on league or cup play, you can choose the teams or leave it to the computer. You don't actually see any play, but the results are displayed and, when required, the tables are updated. If you disagree with the results you can choose 'r' and get them recalculated until you are satisfied.

For quite a lot of the time, you are waiting for the computer to do its computations. Personally, I found this a very boring and pointless exercise. The only real random factor is the score, which you can change anyway.
