kick off 2 is king

Cheers Kim!

i remember being a kid in Ancorage Alaska in 1987. There was basically this two story chuck e cheese's that was 4/5 arcade. It was a huge building with the restraunt and animatronic taking up a small part of the ground floor. Like many builiding of the time and place there were few windows ALL on the ground floor and mostly blacked or covered. You could easily lose hours in that place and i loved it. But the game that had everyone's attention the last time i went was Dark Adventure. 4 people playing at once but NOT gauntlet and one guy its basically Indiana Jones? We could not get enough. I was 5 at the time and looked for the game for years but could never remember the name of it. I found it again in the river mall in San Antonio in 96/97 the arcade was mostly oldies and not in great repair at the time but still had people playing Dark Adventure lol Yeah i know it gets bad mouthed a lot but at the time just the gimick of the lightsabers and other parts was great. We never had an slow down in Alaksa but the arcade was made by some really smart tech people and were known to tweak the hardware and cabinets. We had an elevator action game that ran at 1.5 speed. And a pac-man that ran eith 2.5 or 3. They were labeled as such and just ideas the employees had when there was NOTHING to do for 8 months out of the year but be indoors. Going by the rep Dark Adventure has it must have been tweaked because the animation i see in the video and even looking up others runs much slower then what i recall. i know its been decades but after spending dozens of hours on that game that muscle memory just doesnt vanish. I can still play old nes games. But it was the 80s and wild west days of cabinets....plus Alaska which was double wild west lol

Great vid as always but don't forget the correct pronunciation of TAITO is 'THAI-SHOW'.

The speed boost mechanic is present in the the modern Super Arcade Football switch/pc/xbox/Playstation. Great game, worth a look if you like this style of footer game

We called them "Master-Chronic", initially. Then relented, when we realized we could buy five Chronic games for the price of one full priced game.

CORRECTION: "Croatia had no previous history.." Actually, although it was during the times of when Croatia was still a part of Yugoslavia, e.g. Bug Byte's well known game Kung Fu from 1984 was written for the ZX Spectrum by a Croat, Damir Muraja. There were a few more, but Kung Fu was probably the biggest one.

Nice vid,played a few since watching proper good.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates that stupid term, "boomer shooter".

Excellent as always

How fitting that I watch this on my break at work while Croatia plays against Italy in Euro 2024.

'Never played Sensible Soccer'. Absolute nonsense really lol. One of the biggest games on the Amiga throughout every version. You couldn't escape Sensie in the press and anyone who played it loved it. The chances of making a game that looks exactly like it as nigh on impossible. I have never heard of this game until today, so I will definitely check it out. Thanks again.

11:16 Thought I was having a stroke, or is The Matrix glitching? Love your vids Kim, I'm just a pedantic {beep}.

(Test of Time) "most of the changes are purely cosmetic" Well, aside from being 3 games in 1, with Sci-Fi and Fantasy modes, and extension of the game's technology to the future and allowing you to fight against (or play as) aliens on Alpha Centauri. .

Swamp, not tundra. Why would global warning turn the world into tundra? Tundra is ice (permafrost) covered in thin soil.

Would kill (well, possibly 'maim') for an updated release of something like this on the PS5.

why dont i remember this????? really honeslty never seen it before yet spent hundreds of hours playing SWOS! so yet again, thanks!

Jackals title got changed in the US probably because of Carlos the Jackal.

I remember MS popping occasionaly on the JetSetWillyOnline server by the time the game was alive.

The actual football was kinda arse compared to Sensi, but i loved the atmosphere and all the little things going on on the pitch. More modern games should have on-pitch disruptions and showcase "that" side of football. FIFA is, obviously, squeaky clean football mafia bullshit. But even a lot of the modern indie football games are more cutesy anime style affairs that just lack bite (Or an understanding of football culture). But then again i'm a cynical bastard who makes video games where people explode into gory bits, so maybe i'm a bit biased to a certain presentation.

Fantastic video Kim! ❤ glad to hear you liked Sierra Soccer 😂

had the CU amiga cover disk with this back in the day - really enjoyed it Thanks for this vid - a game that seems little known!

Kim are you going to do a video on retro vector arcade games?

it's about to get serious

I love this retrospective on the beginnings of Croteam. I always wondered where they came from. I had been a PC user in the US since the early 90s but I never heard of Croteam until I saw and played the Serious Sam demo in the summer of 2000. I was completely blown away by the game! I couldn't believe how incredibly fun even that test demo was, especially when multiple people were playing! I've purchased and played through all of the PC Serious Sam games through the years but the original game (both First and Second encounters) are still the ones I love the most!

I was never interested in sports games but I love these examinations of early game development, another great video Kim!

The fact that it runs at a high frame rate too. It's just a better verison of starfox 1

Completely forgot about this game until now, thanks for the nostalgic reminder Kim. Also the Jimmy hill chinny reference

i'll go back to five-a-side soccer eventually, get simming it and maybe make teams for it, i used to sim fifa98 RttWC indoor game

If only they’d stuck with this sort, and not gone on to Quakeclones.

This comment is a little ironic coming from a guy with the "hypermasculine" identifier.

awesome content!

Another great video, Kim. Sorry but my favourite football game is the original Football Manager on the Spectrum. 🤣

Great video- thanks, Kim.

Never knew about this one, the Croatian football team of that time were as exciting as this game by the looks of it

I've been playing citadel remastered from the home computer heroes collection on evercade. It's really good. Also football glory is very very good.

And that's why I subscribe to this channel. Good stuff.

I loved this era of the Amiga. There was always a new crack dev team from some far flung country trying something new.

Oh my God I loved this game! I can actually still remember buying the DOS edition from Game in Loughborough purely because it had Geoff Hurst and the World Cup on the front of it. It quickly replaced my bootleg copy of SWOS as the main reason my mum would tell me to get off the family computer!

While I don't like sports games, this one looks to be a roaring good time and super entertaining, would totally love to try this one out.

Brian Butterfield was a welcome surprise here, cheers Kim!

Ok - I'm going to say it.......I PREFER FOOTBALL GLORY OVER SENSIBLE SOCCER.......uh oh!!!!!!

Top notch video as always Kim. Knew it wouldn’t sway you from sensible! I’m curious to give it a bash now.

Not out tonight, sitting in with some "treats" watching the Euros...... Then notice there's a new Kim vid. Noice! 😁😁

Can't wait to watch this. I'm a huge fan of both Serious Sam and The Talos Principle and Croteam retrospectives usually don't cover this period of their history much.

Fantastic video, Kim. Brings back a ton of memories. I had a Sega arcade near me in the 90's, and I only ever went on the free play days where you'd pay a fiver to get in and all the machines were free vend. I remember playing a great many of the games in this video, it was an amazing experience and a very special era of gaming. The only problem with free play days is the arcade is always packed and you'd be waiting ages to get on some games. Daytona USA always seemed to have all eight players constantly, and there was always a big queue for Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Tekken 2. Virtua Fighter was never all that popular, and I wasn't a fan either so that machine was often available. I mostly played the shooting games, HotD, Gunblade NY, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis. Gunblade was especially fun on free play days cause you could play 2-player on your on and have a gun in each hand, without it costing a fortune. VOOT was my absolute favourite though, holy hell was that game amazing with the big screen and dual stick controls. The machine was never hugely popular but I loved it and played it an absolute ton. Easily the arcade game I've spent the most time with. I feel privileged to have grown up in this era, when arcades were a thing and they were a step above anything you could get at home. If you were a gamer in the 90's, going to an arcade and playing these incredible games was almost a religious experience. I hate to be all "you had to be there" but, yeah..
