History of old football computer games
Having done a lot of game capture footage for a couple of films, I decided to have a play at putting together a short video myself. So what better than the early history of football computer games. Covering 1979-1992, it has footage from 26 games across many systems. This only covers 8 bit computers so no Kick Off or SWOS but I know there are a few old gamers on here who might be interested. It ranges from well known games to mail order games and just plain stinkers.

I can remember playing International Superstar Soccer on the commodore 64 with my brother back in the day.
Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

Looks good, will watch at some point - I wonder if 'Soccer Supremo' (a mail order management game that for some reason is my favourite) is in there.

There were so many management games that I barely scratched the surface. There is even a Dumbarton management game. Originally Posted by brakespear

A quick count shows over 100 management games for the Spectrum alone! Those were the days when you can write a game in your bedroom and sell it in a mag. Similar now with apps but nowhere near as prevalent as it was in the early 80s.RICHARD SWIVELLER, a good-hearted, though somewhat queer young man30-03-2016, 18:17 #7Members

The Spectrum version is in the video about 19:10. I was a C64 boy but wanted to mix it up a bit. Originally Posted by Gregory2,Smith1

Very much so. It always annoyed me because if you did well, it would up the skill level until you lost.RICHARD SWIVELLER, a good-hearted, though somewhat queer young man
