Any other arcade style footy games like Total Football for OCS Amiga?

There is FIFA but it's a garbage development, crap controls and choppy screen update *meh*

The only other one I can think of side scrollers like Kick-off 3, Emlyn Hugh's and Microdeal Soccer, none of which are exactly 16bit arcade quality pixel art.

Not interested in things like Sensi or Kick-off 2, not a fan of overhead, it's not my thing.

Two arcade conversions spring to mind, not bad, not great either:

European Championship 1992
European Football Champ

Also, I think Wembley International Soccer was ok too.

Hmm of the first 2 you mention, one has 15 fps screen update and the other has pretty mediocre pixel art, although the animation is OK oddly.

Wembley Int Soccer looks like it's worth a go too though so cheers for the rec's.

I am going to try FIFA on an A1200 config on UAE to see if it improves the speed of the game, probably not but worth a try.

You only really need 1 decent example though, football is football if you are not into all the stats and teams etc and just want a suitable equivalent to C64 Int Soccer with associated improvements you would expect from the spec of an A500 to be fair.

Yes !




Some pretty good games with side perspective :


"Manchester United Europe" from Krisalis

"European champions" from Ocean/Audiogenic, known as Olympique de Marseille Super Football in France and Lothar Matthaus in Germany.

More footy games on the Amiga than any other system in history, probably.

John Barnes European Football
Kenny Dalglish Soccer Match
Man Utd - The Double had an isometric view I think
Gazza's Super Soccer (made me cry anyways)
Graeme Souness Vector Soccer(one of the worst games ever but its 3d woopie)
Sierra Soccer (actually really cool but if you hate sensi ..)

If you hate Sensi I would just give up on football and go and play PGA European Tour instead anyway

On a sidenote the AGA version of PGA Euro Tour is really great. Recently played it to death, very nice version, much better than console ones (and OCS one, obviously).

I think that European Champion is the best side scroller footy game on the Amiga but my opinion "could be" biaised a little because the french name is Olympique de Marseille Super Football, my home team.

Wembley International Soccer is essentially an updated version of European Champions (the Ocean one). That and Manchester United Europe would be my suggestions.

I hated Striker personally, but it's a nice try at something new. I think Liverpool by Grandslam has a similar perspective.

FIFA did recommend A1200 performance and a 2-button controller, so don't rate it without trying it on that setup.

Wow I didn't knew about this one. You're right. I'll try the AGA version as soon as possible !

Unfortunately not side-scrolling, but I have to chime in if only to win the award for suggesting the most obscure Amiga football game ever; England '66. Bet no one has played that one.
