Brace yourself for this....

SWOS returns!

Yes. 8 years since Sensible Software was bought out by Codemasters, the 2D up 'n doon footy game makes a return. The price may be a bit rancid, but I'd be delighted to see SWOS make a comeback just in time for Germany 2006.

You could bend the hell out of the shots, though. And the career mode was creamy goodness.

[Shindig]

what game is that? never played it before

Sensible World of Soccer. During the mid-nineties, it was the best football game. Often scrapping it out with the Kick Off series. It was the FIFA vs. PES of it's day.

aye, cos if im not mistaken the first FIFA Football was made in 1994 (wasnt called FIFA 94), then FIFA95 was the real break away i think into the more "3D looking games", ISS was already way ahead of the game with its series of games running on SNES.

One of these days someone will ask me what ISS is

However as Shindig says, SWOS was amazingly addictive and way ahead of its time.

TROD.
