Amiga Power Coverdisk 21

This disk from Amiga Power magazine contains playable demo versions of Flair’s
Trolls and Psygnosis’ Combat Air Patrol, but the item of most interest is the
exclusive game Sensible Soccer Meets Bulldog Blighty – partly as a demo of
the 92-93 edition, and also for something different.

England V Germany is on offer, with 3 modes of play – 1944, 1966 and 1993. The
latter two are easy to explain – 1993 is a playable demo to show off the
improvements to the second version, and 1966 involves playing the World Cup
Final teams, in black and white (a hidden option which exists in the Custom
Teams of the full game).

1944, though, involves the ball being replaced with a bomb, which can bounce
awkwardly and obviously prevents heading. At random intervals it will start to
glow, meaning that it’s about to explode. Any players near the ball are then
removed from play, and the last team to touch it get a free kick or penalty as
appropriate.
