The Best Football game EVER!!!

This is the best football game of all time. Brings back memories. AMIGA500. Hours of gaming with friends. season after season. New generation games have the graphics but not the gameplay. This was so much fun. Such a complete game. So many competitions to play, player-manager features, customize teams and all. A game you can play with just a joystick and a button. Simple but so skillful. Nothing is automated like modern games that need 10button combos for the play to do tricks. This is TOTAL FOOTBALL. I will get it, but need to find two joysticks now. Not flight sim ones, or gamepads. The old classic ones. (I used to play on the Amiga with the SEGA Master System joystick). Thanks GOG. This is for us older guys to remember, and for the new kids to learn ;)

Oh my god!

I can't believe this is here! I remember playing this as a kid at a friend's place, on his Amiga I believe? This game has brought us so much fun, we broke many joysticks and fought over tactics endlessly and tirelessly. It is a great game full of fun if you want simple, fun soccer. Really have not much more to say. It could be nostalgia speaking, but I really love this game! Pick it up, I believe 5.99 is not too much for such a gem of the past!

Best football game ever

Forget about fifas and pes, this is football. Only one button for everything, and a ball that is not glued to your players. SO MUCH FUN!!! This is the most challenging, and at the same time rewarding football game created.
