General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

It's not. This icon will narrow things down quite a bit:

Thought it might be Footballer of the Year 2.

But it's not.

Didn't stop me loading up FotY2 and having a quick go, though I lost my first 3 games and gave up. That'll teach me for picking Norwich.

[Edit: I've just realised the that initials for 'Footballer of the Year' almost spells 'footy']

[Edit 2: I'll shut up now]

No, but you're right that it's not a football game. It's a bit of a classic IMO.

No, sorry. The next screenshot will give away the sport. I'll post that tonight unless anyone wants to keep guessing.

Correct! This was the final icon:

Rugby is a notoriously difficult sport to make a computer game out of and World Class Rugby is one of very few that gets it right. Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PS1 is simply the best rugby game of all time, but the Playstation has loads of buttons available to handle hand offs, sidesteps and miss-passes which World Class Rugby doesn't. By contrast, EA have spent 30 years trying to make a rugby game that isn't total crap.

This gives me a good idea for a thread actually. Maybe I'll take a look at other rugby games on the Spectrum between now and the final 6 Nations weekend and see if there's anything else worth playing.

I actually looked at that one, but the first file is 48K only, and it doesn't have the icons! :lol:

It isn't the longest game,
it isn't the shortest game,
but somewhere right in the middle.
