Remember Dino Dini? Then help him and me!! - Page 3

I suddenly realise I have an issue of Amiga Joker that has a two-page interview with you. It was part of the monthly 'Was macht eigentlich..."-series in which they interviewed Amiga programmers from past to present (1993 that is).
Its time to dig out my magazine collection once again.

Just curious: have you also programmed Kick Off 1 and 2 on the C64?

03 May 2002, 12:20

That would be very cool, thanks

No, I had nothing to do with the C64 version... it was reverse engineered, as far as I know.

Tim Janssen · 06 May 2002, 08:53

I have put a one-page advert for Kick Off 1 in The Zone. The rest will follow the next days.
Are you still interested in the Kick Off3 review by CU Amiga as well?

06 May 2002, 18:51

Other may be interested in KO3, but I had nothing to do with it

Many thanks again, I'm adding the new stuff to the collection.

With good wishes,

Dino, I have also posted a different full page ad for Kick Off to the Zone. I also have some box scans of several of the Kick Off games if you're interested.

06 May 2002, 19:47

Very much so, thanks a million

stainy · 06 May 2002, 22:02

All the Kick Off related adverts, one page, two page, all the PM adverts, even the infamous PM2 advert, which advertised the combination of KO2 with PM ... not the tosh that eventually came out! ..just need a good scanner!!

06 May 2002, 22:04

cool... can anyone lend him a scanner?

Tim Janssen · 07 May 2002, 08:50

I have put the “Was macht…” interview in The Zone. It is written in German. My apologies for the low quality of the scans. I was a bit in a hurry this morning.

07 May 2002, 19:52

Thank you very much again

I am astounded and very grateful for you kind efforts to get me these materials

Bobic · 15 May 2002, 01:00

Hello,

I could provide you with reviews of KO, KO2, all those extra disks for both parts, PM and Goal! from at least three german magazines. Hope it isn't a problem for you that these articles are written in german.

If you should be interested, please tell me where I should send or upload the scans.

Twistin'Ghost · 15 May 2002, 01:49

Up them here!!!

Tim Janssen · 16 May 2002, 08:43

I have discovered The Defguide to Zzap is back online with scanned magazines. This will save me the hassle of scanning pages.

Grab them while you can.

- On pages 65-67 in Issue 61, May 1990 you can find an article called "The Big Match". It is a funny description about a Kick-Off 1 competition between Phil King (Footy fan and Zzap reviewer) and one of his readers:
http://www.zzap64.org/fullissues/zza...61p65to80.html

- On page 32 of this very issue you can find a scanned single-page advert of Kick Off 2:
http://www.zzap64.org/fullissues/zza...61p17to32.html

- Page 48 in Issue 66, October 1990 has a one-page advert of Kick Off 2 which has more descriptions:
http://www.zzap64.org/fullissues/zza...66p33to48.html

- Finally in the December 1990 issue, you can find a two-page advert of Kick Off 2 and Kick Off 2 Extra Time on pages 62 and 63:
http://www.zzap64.org/fullissues/zza...68p49to64.html

wonderful! There was even a review of Player Manager, which is great because I don't think I have any of my own.

A big thank you.

sarek2k · 16 May 2002, 14:18

Dino was surely the daddy of Soccer/footy games on the Amiga and in some way the Atari ST too.

When i 1st played Kick off on my friends ST i could barely control it and got thrashed loads of times, The Roar when i scored my 1st goal i nearly shouted the roof off the house

When i got My own Amiga i practiced like hell on kick off II my friend and i used to play every sunday for about 3 years! When he got Sensi Soccer and said it was better than Goal i called him a Looney how could he insult Goal.

Still i played Sensi for a while but for me it never had the same atmosphere Sundays were never the Same.

Kick off series & Goal Ruled

-= Respect =- Dino!

Gonna sign this patition in a mo!

And on page 64, Kick Off is on the ad for Challengers.

Shame Dino Dini is a self-obsessed twat.

CodyJarrett · 27 June 2004, 00:25

What an amazingly constructive post. It's real added lots to this thread.

andreas · 27 June 2004, 01:01

I bet he was just referring to that (silly?) SWOS vs. Kick off debate.
