Kick-Off

The granddaddy of all arcade games; played long before Space Invaders, when chips meant fried potatoes and went with everything. Yes, this is table-top football complete with rods and spinning players. Well thought out, employing colour to good effect and being a brilliant simulation with all the thrills and frustrations of the original. Either play the C64 or a human opponent (preferably less experienced than yourself) but read the explicit instructions first. Naturally good control will come only with practice so match the ball speed to your ability.

The title screen is very much part of the entertainment: a well defined crowd with appropriate music (a really good feature). Obviously effort has been put in here. Anyone looking for something "different" or fans of actual game will appreciate this quality offering.
