Sensible World of Soccer 1994

Is it still worth playing?

Sensible Software's 1994 football game for the Amiga, which joins 2D football on the pitch with a manager mode. On the pitch you control players with eight directions and one fire button, and many actions work without predefined keys. Away from it, the game holds 1,500 teams and 27,000 players, and career mode has you manage a club through 20 seasons. Every player has skills such as speed, tackling, heading and finishing, and prices are calculated from them. Transfers follow from those skills: you can buy players, part exchange your own or do both, and success in competitions earns the money needed to keep stronger ones. Results also bring offers, since clubs and national teams can offer you jobs. Football and management that feed each other still carry a career across twenty seasons today.
