This obscure football game snuck in to the list right at the end of Amiga Power, putting it higher than earlier, better-known entries on my list. Does it deserve its high position?
When it comes to football games on the Amiga, there's not a lot to remark about here: you can play a cup, a league, a friendly, and you can use a variety of formations. The game uses an isometric viewpoint, like the original FIFA International Soccer, but it can be a little difficult to control, as you need to push the one button multiple times to do short passes or long balls. Playing with two buttons helps with this, as it also gives you more kicking options. Once you get used to the control, it provides a nice alternative to more popular games of its type.
The control isn't as weird as Manchester United Europe, but it's up there. You must make sure to use a two-button controller to have any chance of enjoying it, but it's not too bad. I'm not a huge fan of it due to the way you move, and it's hard to compete with the other obvious contenders on the platform.
