This game falls into the "so bad it's good" category. It's a football manager type game, so if the lure of league tables and team selection problems holds no fascination, read no further.

If you've stayed on you can be initiated into the mysteries of a strange new game - "Zombie Laserball". When League Challenge attempts to capture the big match atmosphere we are treated to some very odd graphics indeed. Hulking shapes lumber across the pitch aimlessly like zombies but just when you think they are totally lifeless, a laser beam darts out of one of the zombies' boots and tries to zap the undead goalkeeper. He misses and it's a goal. These bizarre graphics decide your league and cup success.

You start off in the murky depths of Division 4 obscurity and by buying players, training hard and selecting a strong team, you hopefully rise to glory in the First Division.

Your form can be decidedly quirky, surprise defeats followed by a run of victories after your players suddenly gains lots of stamina and fitness points for no apparent reason. League Challenge will certainly win no awards but if you can excuse the graphics, the time it will take to guide your team to the top will justify the budget price.
