Definately not the best footie game for the Speecy. Sure its gameplay is quicker than Match Day, but it's all gets a bit dull after about four minutes when you realise that there are better footie games than this, and Match Day is one of them.

All of the players on either team look the same colourwise which obviously doesn't help and the game is accompanied by one of the worst tunes ever to grace our Spectrum. Would have been a three but the game overall is below average.

I was initially disappointed to not hear one of the worst tunes to grace the Spectrum going by Raphie's review as I didn't get any, but then the game crashed when you started playing it on 128K and +2. After loading it on +2A I finally got the music, which is a bit crap but there are worse tunes than this for sure, and finally the game started successfully and boy I wish it hadn't. The key layout is atrocious, QAZX and 1, you need to be double-jointed to work your way around that layout. The goalies are manual controlled so you need to be the one to do the saving here, you can only imagine how well that went with me. And indeed as stated earlier both teams look identical which is as lazy as you can get. As far as football games go, it's dire and among the worst out there, as well as that it's easily one of the worst games Players ever released. And the best thing about the game is its cassette cover, which while looking as bad as the majority of Speccy football games the first two teams I think of when I see it are Uruguay and Mexico and neither are in Europe.
