Hi there! With all the excitement of Euro 2012, and on the eve of England beating/losing to Italy, we thought it might be time to add another football review to our archives. So, finally, we have a game from the most famous football series of them all – the original FIFA International Soccer.

8-bit memories: Footballer of the Year
It’s funny when a game from yesteryear pops into your head for seemingly no reason. Well, I say no reason, but actually there was one: I was reading about a game called New Star Soccer, the point of which is to guide a single player from his humble roots as a 16 year-old trainee to […]
Hours and hours of constantly-happening football
Hello. It’s me again, I’m afraid. We have that rarest of things on FFG this evening – two review in one update. I know, I know, we’re amazing. So, here’s a double-whammy of old-school football fun: Kick Off 2 and Goal!.
Jules Rimet Still Gleaming

Review: Maniac Mansion, Wolfenstein 3D, Viva Football
Howdy. Is it October already? It’s getting cold, the nights are drawing in…all the more reason to not bother going outside and enjoy some classic gaming in the warm comfort of your home. You could tidy the place up a bit though – how about recycling some of those empty Dr Pepper cans instead of […]
