England Championship Special description
A little-known football simulator (which is considered almost one of the worst of all that ever was released), indirectly related to the English Premier League 1990 (at the time of creating the game already passed) and the European Championship in 1992 (at the time of creating the game has not yet begun).
Title screen. Tournament setup.
Accordingly, the game has different game modes, but, for example, in the European Championship are available for selection for some reason, only seven different countries (however, this is likely due to the fact that within England the license was purchased, and within Europe – no). All the teams are real, but many stars of the time in the game. Anyway, sorry, about this game you can only say different not too good things.
Team composition screen with player attributes and information. The game: Top-down action soccer. Whew close one!
So, there is a very weak AI your rival teams do not have such concepts as cards, penalties or offsides; before the match, of course, allowed to form a team, moreover, they allow to determine the strength of the wind (!) during the match, that he met in those years not so often, but that's really the game it has almost no effect, as the players here are almost faceless and differ little among themselves in terms of style of play; the number of available strikes is also extremely small. To play, generally speaking, is quite simple – in one game has a chance to score a simply unrealistic number of goals.
Goal! Unfortunately for the wrong team. Penalty shot.
The only real advantage of the game is its graphics. The view here is from above and almost full 2D, but still the players are drawn relatively large and clear (albeit exactly the same). And in some sense it is even a disadvantage: due to the fact that the heads of the players are too big, sometimes it is impossible to properly consider one of them the ball. Naturally, to obtain the title of good or at least average football simulator good images a little, but still be called a game really bad too. Yes, it really is made without the slightest attempt to create something realistic, without attention to detail, without striving to make at least some "flavor", which distinguished her from jillion counterparts. But if you want to play just an ordinary arcade football with his role of performer for this desire this thing will do perfectly.
