    Abu Simbel Profanation. Incredibly, I can't reach second screen. Off form.

    Worst difficulty curve EVER. The game gets much easier once you get past the first three screens. But that's an almost impossible task.

    Back in the day, I got a copy of the game with infinite lives. Even with that, it was really difficult!

    It was as difficult. When you lose alive you are moved back to the starting position, so... :-/

    Seriously, worst gameplay design EVER. It completely spoils the game, which could be great otherwise.

    Turbo the Tortoise. What an excellent prog.




    Of course - with cheating. :)

    The Pyramid, by Fantasy Software.

    Nice shooter, Jetpac style, but it seems a bit repetitive. Anyone progressed much?

    Addicted to "football" games last few weeks...

    F.A.Cup Football(Virgin Games ,1986)
    Very,very addictive game... Quite simple but perfect...
    My favourite teams to manage: Luton T , Everton , Southampton , Arsenal ...
    Keep on your mind that game was made in 1986 so check out for Divison 1-4 tables of season 1985-86 for better choice of teams you want to manage...

    The other one is

    Footballer of the Year(Gremlin Graphics,1986)
    The game I was playing for hours when I was teenager... And now back for more and bring memories back again after almost 30 years...
    Brilliant game! Become Footballer of the Year and make your dreams come true... Yes it is possible thanks to this game! Bit of luck,bit of skills and you made it!

    Good game!,good game!...yeah used to play it a lot back then,I do remember the repetition but I saw it as part of the challenge although I think my attention span is much shorter today and if I was to load it up I would struggle with it,have you played Doomsday Castle or Backpackers guide to the universe much?.

    Cool sequels; I prefer both games (specially Backpackers) to 'The Pyramid' as they're adventures: exploring, etc not only shooting! :-)

    Three interesting games.

    Still play this quite a bit and still love it, the only annoying this is you spend some of the season building your team up and winning matches and progressing though cup games only to be transferred!:smile:

    Yes that's true mate... But there is something magical that keeps you addicted to this game... Something that you can't find in any football game today... Until today none made nothing close similiar... FOTY is one and only! Simply UNIQUE!

    M.O.V.I.E. - A little slow going but imo - a great game which reminds me of LA Noire in some ways. Maybe this game started that trend? lol.

    Minder!
