It's another football manager game called Championship Soccer and this one is done by STD, which sounds a bit rude until you realise it stands for Steve, Tony and David, the three chaps who wrote this game. It's a 128K only game but you wouldn't know it as it has the look and feel of an ordinary BASIC football manager game, just with more memory. And even with all this added memory there's still no sound at all, surely there was room in 128K of memory for some sound guys. And the waiting times are just as long as usual, but I suppose bigger memory means more processing right? The match screen is a pitch of a team's goal mouth which works, there's some text of commentary at the bottom and the list of scorers will appear on screen should that happen, so it's what you'd expect from a usual football manager game. It's not terrible, it's just the same that I've played elsewhere. Here's the thing, this was released in 1989 and going for £7.99 while I would have played something similar to this four years earlier and for £4 less. This would have felt life a ripoff had I bought this.
