  2. Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix
  3. Match Point
  4. Supersoccer
  5. Peter Shilton's Handball Maradonna

I really wanted to like Hardball, but I just don't get on with it. It's impossible to play.

This thread has reminded me how much I disliked sport games on the Speccy. Xeno, Match Point and Horace Goes Skiing (hardly counts) are, I think, the only ones I could ever stand.

I especially hated Match Day, but that might be because I can still rember Morkin beating me 96-1! (My goal came from a direct throw.)

1. Match Day 2
2. Footballer of the Year
3. Football Manager
4. Nigel Mansell’s Grand Prix
5. Jet Bike Simulator

I was tempted to include World Games, as I remember playing it a lot, but decided it wasn’t actually good enough to merit a top five place. In fact I don’t think it would make my top ten sports games, so I am not sure why I have such fond memories of it.

I should have called for a video replay...

Yep, Xeno was surprisingly cool. A very funny game.

1. Kikstart 2 Stone cold classic, lots of life in this thanks to the course designer and the computer player (or 2nd human player, if you so wish).
2. ATV Simulator Pretty damned good.
3. Emlyn Hughes's International Soccer Best football game on the Speccy.
4. WEC Le Mans Astonished at the speed of this, oh, what Out Run could have been.
5. Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road Pretty magnificent.

So I forgot Xeno, and unforgivably, Bobsleigh. That certainly needs redressing:
  1. Bobsleigh
  2. Xeno
  3. Premier League (SU megatape 15)
  4. Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix
  5. Match Point
Bobsleigh is probably the first sports game that made me more interested in the real thing. Now with the Winter Olympics going on, the sliding events are my favourites... except for 2-man luge, you know, 2 Men 1 Luge, who came up with that one???
