Title: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: Tale on June 02, 2006, 06:16:10 AM Back in the day (of the Commodore Amiga), there was a game called Sensible Soccer that was a whole lot of fun to play. It had zany programmers who twisted physics, sped it up and made a classic. It was soccer as a cartoony computer game, rather than a computer game trying to be soccer. I even kept the box and original disk after I sold my Amiga :)
They are about to release a 2006 remake and I just played the demo - it's good fun. Doesn't have commentary like a FIFA game so it feels a bit silent, but that doesn't really matter.

Downloading to try it out. I wonder if the US team will be as big a set of pussies when they've got the ball in the box as the curent team is. Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: schild on June 02, 2006, 03:01:07 PM STAR.
FORCE. If not, and you can throw teams up against other players teams, ya, I might pick this up. Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: Righ on June 02, 2006, 03:31:50 PM And they make it for the PSP, which would be the ULTIMATE platform for a footie game like this.
Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: schild on June 02, 2006, 03:52:20 PM Ok, I'll buy that on the PSP. Awesome.
Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: Righ on June 02, 2006, 04:19:25 PM That was a hypothesis... they haven't yet announced a PSP version. I would rock the world however.
Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: Tale on June 02, 2006, 08:42:53 PM STAR. FORCE. It is apparently NOT a Starforce game. Source 1 (http://www.eurogamer.net/article_discussion.php?article_id=65134&comment_start=50) Quote 2. No - there's no Starforce on the PC version of Sensible Soccer 2006. Source 2 (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-106397.html) Quote Got confirmation from Compat on this and I can categorically state "no Starforce" on Sensible Soccer 2006. It'll be using another copy protection system. Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: schild on June 02, 2006, 08:49:56 PM Great, thanks.

I was completely inept at them. Title: Re: Sensible Soccer 2006 is fun Post by: stray on June 04, 2006, 12:55:31 AM Umm....Aren't all sports games "twitchy"?
Well, all of them except those game manager ones. |
