Football games peaked with Sensible World of Soccer. Easy to play, hard to master, enhanced by its management section for long term interest. Best on an Amiga with a Cheetah Bug joystick.
I have to say i love the editing on your videos, the Hong kong phooey reference was brilliant 😁 Now, i dont like football games but i watched to the end so it kept me entertained. Your delivery is wonderful mate. Great catch on the new updated version of the game, definitely be of interest to all those that loved the game back then 👍
I had the CD version of the DOS game back in the 90s (weirdly i had the full game on a demo disc) and Jonathan Pearce’s commentary was on that version. Maybe you had the floppy disc version without commentary. The CD version had a “music video” for Goal Scoring Superstar Hero as the into for the game which is very funny and you can find it on UA-cam. I think there is a way of putting the intro video back on SWOS 2020, but I haven’t figured that out.
That would be great if you guys could add that back in. I love the hard work and dedication that you guys have poured into SWOS 2020. Keep up the amazing work! Now if I could only get the audio working properly on my M1 MacBook. On my PC it works amazingly.
I have never been a huge lover of footie games, but I used to have this on my amiga and I used to love this a lot, I think it's the best footie game, I think there was a christmas mix of swos and canon fodder as a cover disk I also loved that.
Sensi is loads of fun. So immediate and accessible. Kick Off 2 was deeper I felt and with a better nuance of control. Not a popular opinion but one loads share. Both great options though
I always started in the lower division and you always got a good reserve LW that was super fast and had great ball control, swos is by far the greatest football game ever made, really wish it was out for the PS5,loved my amiga 1200 also playing championship manager great times, match day on the spectrum and also a game called striker 😂brilliant.
Unironically for me it's the best. I'm just getting stuck in to a career with Lincoln City on SWOS 2020 on my Steam Deck. European Champions is the aim.
Played the 92 version a lot back in the day, saw this version on xbox store for £7 recently and wish I had not waisted £7, had about 5 games up to now lost all of them 1-0 the opposition are so fast it's unreal trying to keep possession for more than 2 seconds is an achievement, and when you do get the ball and make a turn the ball rolls away from your feet, I could go on but it would be like trying to pick up 3 points IMPOSSIBLE.
This release works on steam deck too, but there's a hilarious bug if you try and play it without installing something that can read the database files first Basically game runs as normal but every stat for every player will be 0 so ac Milan will play worse than el Salvador league lmao
96/97 SWOS was class, many good memories of this game 😄

Love a bit of Hong Kong Phooey 🙂 thanks for your kind words Denny, it's a great game.
Thanks for this video! Keep enjoying the game! :)

Nice! Yeah the intro music is fantastic! Cheers for the comment 👍
Unfortunately, we had to scratch the intro video. Might add it again at a later point!

I'm still playing this today on my xbox 😊 brilliant game
I worked on the DOS version of SWOS ( and Canon Fodder ), 'enhancing' the graphics...
Nice!

Yeah cannon fodder is great too!

Yeah Kick Off 2 is great, can't disagree.
I loved "Goal" which was essentially Kick Off 3 in all but name. SWOS and Championship Manager Italia on Amiga 500 was ace 👌
I’ll die on that hill with you. This is the best Footy GAME ever. Whilst I’m drying in that hill IK+ is the best fighting game ever.
I like your death hill 😁

A zip stick is essential for SS/SWOS
Is there a mac version?
Don't think so. Check the site in the description 👍
Just done this today love it!!! Changed loads on it and put 94 db on it too
Nice one!
What FIFA needs is a Johnathan Pearce commentary option.
100%
World of sensible soccer was the goat. Buying and selling players. League and cup games . Internationals. Teams from all over the world
It so was!!!
This looks fun but is it repetitive?
Hi - it's so much fun honestly, once you get used to the simple controls. You can score some great goals!
The games are short, but so much fun and you can score some amazing goals. and even a 40 game season can be done in an afternoon

Haaland must be metally fast
I need to like this game since so many praise it, but it's so hard not to loose the ball 😅
Yeah takes getting used to it
very cool ❤
played this game to death
Such a classic!
£7 on xbox store

Haha great!
