OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think it was about 15 years ago when we'd meet a friends, with the intention of going out, but got hooked on this simple, but brilliant game for yet another night.Does anyone share such memories?Is there a nice download link for the PC?

G.E.C. 19,116 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have it in PS2. Probably the worst game I've played. Just a football game with massive heads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klos 39 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Never really got the hype behind it, ok it was the first popular game where you could buy and sell players but the gameplay was horrendously bad, cou'ld lace the boots of super soccer that was out at the same time on the snes.

Gerwelly 115 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Friendships were made and lost over SWOS!! A great game that was all about the GAMEPLAY!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearAl 15 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My favourite game as a kid. We used to have tournaments with cash prizes, sometimes up to 100 quid could be won! The game play was amazing with SWOS pushing the boundaries and adding injuries etc. You could not beat the old punts from the half way line which you could after touch into the goals! This pissed all over the Kick off series which was out at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watp_72 33 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I had a version for the amiga, where you could also have a 15 season career as a manager.#thegoodolddays Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 My favourite 'historic' football game is either Nintendo World Cup for the NES or Actua Soccer.I still play Actua Soccer as I have two PS1 copies of it for my PS3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographystew 8 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 We had it on the Amiga, great times. I still never get bored of 'Sensei'I rented the Megadrive version back in the day, it was nowhere near as good as the Amiga version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gid 46 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 SWOS was amazing on the Amiga and PC but utter gash when they brought it out on consoles. They changed the control element of it so that the ball stuck to your feet which ruined the game.Does anyone remember Emlyn Hughes Football on the Spectrum? That was the first football game I loved.

rabbie1980 36 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 the amiga version was by far the best.i can still play it on my pc using amiga emulation software, even have the old style joystick to play it with the thing you could do with the ball after gitting it were great, the swerves and dip etc :-) possible to score from almost the half way line if you get it right :-) just flies in and the keeper doesny even move i have read on a few sites while trying to get it that it is possible to play it online against people with the software but seems a lot of fucking aboot.spent many a night bored doing the old european cup or euro super league and cup winners cup of course one of the greatest all time games imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographystew 8 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 SWOS was amazing on the Amiga and PC but utter gash when they brought it out on consoles. They changed the control element of it so that the ball stuck to your feet which ruined the game.Does anyone remember Emlyn Hughes Football on the Spectrum? That was the first football game I loved. we had Emlyn Hughes on the C64. we hired the Megadrive version of Sensei, it was awful, they added music during gameplay which was pointless, and "Ally McCoist" was called "Elly McCuist".

pb1690 9 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 fantastic game we used to all play it after going out clubbing, great laugh doing all nighters, and the swerve and diving headers great some of us managed 2 score from the kick off u were gutted if u conceded that early, back then the gameplay was great.
