Kick Off Revival

I played the original to death, great days.

It's hard to believe that was 30 years ago, but the new one seems to do a good job of bringing back a gaming classic, while not taking itself too seriously.

It's not going for realism just fun, avtually might give this a go lol, Cheers Hitler

Could be good fun, in a similar way to Rocket League in not being too serious.

Italia 90 is my most memorable football game, on the megadrive I spent hours playing that.

The picture of a player celebrating that was the exact same player but the kit changed when you scored

Never got into kick off because controlling the ball was an absolute nightmare. There was a player manager offshoot of Kick Off, possibly number 3, which frustrated the life out of me because I bet it was great if you were any good at it.

I too had Italia 90 (had it for the Spectrum first...terrible on that). Good game but just got too easy. Though knocking 11 past Scotland as Costa Rica took a while to get old.

SWOS was THE game from that generation. Nothing came remotely close to it until FIFA hit the PS1.

Wow, I did not know this was being revamped!

Kick Off 2 was probably the game that I've spent more time playing than any other. I absolutely adored that game, I was a beast on it as well. So, so much time spent on that, and then Sensible soccer as well.

Cheers for the link / news, I'm getting quite excited now

Kick off was brilliant... But I fell in love with sensible soccer on the amiga. Will give this a go though
