wouldnt be the same without one of these!

Bargains never been so much fun

If only the rest of the world felt the same way Commodore may have been with us a bit longer :disappointed:

I played a lot of consoles and computers in my youth, as had one or two consoles myself and played other families/friends systems. So not even sure what version of SS I played and on what system. I have a hunch though it was the Sega Mega Drive (16-bit console) version of SS that had the changed players names though./quote]

It most certainly was, go to around 1:10 in this video on youtube, the megadrive version and then laugh at the England player names.

Cannon fodder looks like a mega drive port. I am sure I had that years ago with some free emulator. It was ok but not a patch on the Amiga version.

Also, if you're having a few beers tonight. They have Sensible Soccer 06 for £1.99, that way the disappointment won't be as bad :smile:

Paid £1.27 as it made me check out in $ for some reason after I registered. Will be writing an angry e-mail to get my 8p back.

​Your CD32 still works!? Oh man, one of my favourite ever games machines.

Bargains never been so much fun

Spent hours playing this back in the day.

Just brilliant games - still regularly play SWOS on the Xbox360 whenever my old friends are round (not got gamepads on my laptop).

Sensible Soccer 92 & SWOS is responsible for two years of my life enjoyable wasted!

Ooh.. Burned!

If only the rest of the world felt the same way Commodore may have been with us a bit longer :disappointed:

Yeah - was one of the first games I bought on the 360! Sadly not £1.19 - think it's £6.75?

Loved these games in the 80's,some of my fondest mem's was playing these titles...I'm just getting back into the Mega drive,but still have PlayStation 1 & 4,Xbox,Xbox 360,Xbox One,Nvidia Shield...
Are these stream games...

Buzz, 06.

Yer, that's what I said :smile:

Sensible Soccer was fun. Isn't that the game where they were cheap and didn't pay the licensing to get the players names? So Steve Bruce would have been Steve Bryce and so on, they just changed a letter here or there as I recall.

Cannon Fodder is simple and great fun to play, quality game to.

Heat for the brief but smile on face nostalgia trip I just went on momentarily :smiley:

wouldnt be the same without one of these!

Let me find my Quickshot 2......

They are using dosbox, the game is a bit slower and less accurate. Also I forget this game is from 1993 not the 80's. The pc version in dos is actually better than the Amiga version, which didn't surprise me after I noticed the date.

Nope, SWOS had all the real players names, and I don't think licences were needed back then like todays money grabbing market with the likes of FIFA and PES.

Simpler times.

The only way to play it, I have my A1200 a C64 and a Zipstik. Have both my C64, Amiga and desk PC all on an L shaped Computer Desk...if only I had room for more retro computers, an Atari 800xl would also be nice.

The console versions of Sensi didn't, Amiga version did. SWOS took up so much of my life. I would play a whole season in one day.

Must have been another SS game in the series then from that generation, I swear there was at least one with nearly the real players names but not quite. I am sure there was licensing back then, even Pre-Premiership times, was just a hell of a lot cheaper.

Read younggrobbo's comment above perhaps there is where the confusion lies...although why did they need licenses for the console version and not the computer versions...weird.

Certainly both the Sensible Soccer 92 European Champions Edition as well as the original and subsequent releases of SWOS on the Amiga all had real player names...as I still have an Amiga this is not just a fuzzled hazy memory either :smiley:

So how do you play these games for Gog.com, is there an emulator or something?

I was a huge Amiga fan also! and this was my weapon of choice:

I can see why, that's massive :smile:

Was it one of the championship managers games if not this? I know one of them I played was like that

It was the standard Sensible Soccer games. Not SWOS.

I played a lot of consoles and computers in my youth, as had one or two consoles myself and played other families/friends systems. So not even sure what version of SS I played and on what system. I have a hunch though it was the Sega Mega Drive (16-bit console) version of SS that had the changed players names though.


Nah deffo not a CM game, played them (only on PC in the 90s and beyond) and ones I played always had the real names, quality games them and the real deal with no corners cut :smiley:

Brings a tear to my eye that, so funny, thanks cicobuff!

Licensing definitely was an issue even in the early 90s - for example Super Soccer, ISS, Super Sidekicks

Anyone manage to get their x360 controller to work with swos? I bought this last time it was on offer but never played it as didn't work.

nice.
bought Syndicate as well ;D

Sensi Soccer always had real names from what I recall. Kick Off and Man Utd in Europe had fake names. That is where Ryan Goggs, Andrei Konchelskis and Denis Urwin and the like came from. I still have my Amiga 500 in working order, i'll have to fire it up to check now (not right now but sometime soon).

Loved these 2 games :smiley: I remember my friends banning me from scoring from corners on the first sensi soccer as good do it 99% of the time!

All the more reasons to keep your CRT TV's for that extra nostalgic gameplay too. Seen too may been thrown away at dump sites that still works as gaming monitors. Can't watch TV, just get a cheap Freeview decoder. I'll be keeping my Sony Trinitron TV's for retro gaming alone.:smile:

I have a working Commodore 1084 Monitor and a couple of other 'spare' monitors in the attic. :smiley:

Thanks for the link!

Loved this game - a group of us teens would play this to death - so much fun.

Amiga version was before clubs realised they could make a fortune oit of licensing player names. I think it helped that the first version weren't sold in the same quantities as console games.

The Competition Pro was my joystick of choice as well, over the Zip Stick.

Oops, seems I joined the party late. But confirming that SS and SWOS on the Amiga had correct names.

And how anyone could play it on the Competition Pro or similar I don't know. Hated playing on that thing. Always preferred a Quickshot 2 type joystick myself. Edit: a joystick with a trigger button basically.

I only ever played it on Amiga, and whichever version that was had Ryan Goggs, so wasn't just consoles

I had every edition on the Amiga and not one had false names from my recollection. Others have said the same, so I can't see it being my memory.

There was a PC version that came out in 98 (?) and I'm sure that had altered names though.

I don't even care how much this is, it's sensible soccer... hot hot hot

Not sure if I can post this here, but you can play this and thousands of other old games on-line here: SENSIBLE

It is a legitimate site I believe:

All the games that are on Play DOS Games Online are what are called Abandonware, these software titles are from the 80’s and 90’s, site such as this one seek to conserve the games as many of these games have been completely lost in their original for that being on 3.5in floppy and 5.25in floppy disks.

PS: WARNING - POTENTIAL LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUR HOURS!! :smile:

love it the league table show Nottingham forest in the top division if you support them BUY THIS its the only place you will ever see that :wink: hehehehehe Will be buying this, spent many hours getting beat by one person in particular, so I have a cunning plan to waste 18months now getting really good at it then spend thousands tracking down they guy who used to beat me and show him eh! :wink:

how do you pay in UK £'s
I registered then it wanted payment in $ I assume USA $ it didn't state that and an awful lot of countries use dollars

is this a download or a disc?

An enjoyable game, but becomes very easy, very quickly in single player mode. Always preferred Kick Off 2 myself....

Thanks for this!

I forgot about time and played till 1am. Getting up at 0730 was a struggle lol

Brilliant games, rated hot. But what are the keyboard controls for SWOS??? Ctrl shoot and thats all lol?

No you didn't.

brilliant deal

its the pc version, with the crap sound! not amiga version so I'm out.

I loved Sensible soccer, there was noting better than playing it on an Amiga, destroying many quickshot joysticks. Also being able to lob in a shot and score from the half way line made you feel like a football master.

loved this game, remember Cambridge United players were all called Long Ball Larry, except for Dion Dublin!

The Competition Pro is available in USB and is perfectly adequate to the task.

However, the Zip Stik was where it was at.

I actually have a modified Zip Stik with USB internals, specifically because Sensi.

It's not terribly difficult to do - the internals of the USB Competition Pros are very nearly compatible.

Ahh the days of just A & B buttons

None of this X, circle, square, triangle, R1, L1, L2, R2, R3, L3, touchpad, D-Pad, Analog, start, select

Just simply A and B :smiley:

Loved this game, also loved the little spin offs that were created. SS with bombs, now that was fun!

This was my battle axe back in the day.

WinUAE says hello.

Does this version of swos (for PC windows 10) work with a usb joypad?

Excuse the ignorance folks but what platform can I play these games on???

which one was the football *game* vs the soccer management - I seem to remember there was a difference between sensi-something and sensi world of soccer ?

How do you play these games? an emulator?
