SWOS - Any Updates!?!
« on: November 11, 2003, 04:03:33 PM »
Hello!

It all started on one Sunday afternoon. As people may know that Sundays are boring, what with all the crap tv programmes on and that (namely repeats of crap). Well anyway i won't go into that. Anyway, i was planning on playing football later on in the afternoon with a few mates (after Liverpool and Man U match!), or so i thought, then disaster struck! The weather started pissing down and it looked like a river had just burst its banks! I thought to myself "typical ####ing British weather!", but actually i was wrong on this one, we have had a pretty good summer overall.

Then things wen't from bad to worse. I realised I WAS TRAPPED! "I couldn't play football in this monsoon!" i thought. "I don't even have any flippers!". So, unfortunately, we all had to call off the football match we were going to have. But that left me in a really bad position, i was stranded in my own house! My Amiga was down, well hard drive wise, and was about to watch yet another poor episode of Eastenders when i found an old Sensible World Of Soccer game in a drawer.

With nothing to lose, i decided to boot up this once great game that i had foolishly forgotten about. After a few games at the masterpice game, i was hopelessly addicted to it. "Surely this is the greatest footie game of all time!" i cried.

Although the gameplay was untouchable, the game stats are a little bit out of date. So i decided to try out an old SWOS update on an old Amiga Action disk. I fired this up (after setting up the disk 2 update) and was impressed with the player updates (a year later!) but, unfortunately, they had tampered with the game setup completely, which i detest and immediatly went back to the old one.

I still had fun out of the great game, but were still thinking about "are there any updates by other users that can bring this game forward to this season? That would be chuffing great!"

And that is the end of my marvellous story that happened to me on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for that. Will it work on Amiga though!? Also, is it possible to add commentary from a SWOS CD from the PC version. I wan't to hear Jonathon Pearce's speaking, screamy commentating.

Thanks again.

-edit-

Oh sorry, i just noticed you confirming it working on your Amigas!
