Football, football, foot ba-a-all! One of my favourite songs, that. Like any red-blooded lad, I'm into the national sport. High Wycombe Wanderers, my local team, is currently at the top of the Nell Gwynn Tea Rooms Conference League Division 3.

Where was I? Yes, MicroProse Soccer is a pretty good game. It's got big sprites, it's fairly fast and it's got fouls, rain and the possibility of some storming goals (all with action replay).

Of course, two-player mode is the best (I beat Barry 3-1 a few minutes ago). But the computer isn't bad at all, and you can have jolly old kickabout with the greatest of ease.

If there's anything wrong with it at all, it's the fact that MicroProse Soccer isn't quick and frantic enough for my liking. But, overall, a pleasant pheasant of a game.

Put on your football boots, grab your helmet and strap yourself on to the rocket sled before leaping off the rapidly accelerating cliff. Then load MicroProse Soccer and have a laugh.
