Fifa 96 - the last of the crazy 45 degree angle

World cup for the NES was my first ever football game. Unreal Craic, think it was 4 vs 4, or 2 vs 2. with each team having a special attacking move you could use 5 times per half! You controlled one player and then could instruct a team mate to pass/shoot!

West Germany had a zig zag shot if If I recall correctly, it was 50/50 as to whether it burst the keeper in to the net or rose over for a goal kick!

Honorable mentions to ISS on the snes and to FIFA road to the world cup 98 for the PS1.

Anyone remember the This is Football games, they used be on Ps2. First game to have handballs, diving, and the goalie could get sent off. Brilliant is was think Rio Ferdinand on the front of one of them.


I mentioned the last one to be released, i thought that was a top notch game Thumbs Up Chris Kamara on co-commentary! John O'Shea was on the cover of the 04 version

f**k, completely forgot about del piero tognon! Big fan of fifa '97. Fifa '95 with the amazing Brian Plank for Germany, whatever Champ man it was had the super Tonton Zola Moukoko and the perfect trick of playing one-twos and being guaranteed a goal in PES 2 on the playstation one. Those were, indeed, the days.

i remember premier manager 98 was £45 when it came out. It was the first accessible easy to get into manager sim compared to the unbelievably highly detailed championship manager games

My mam paid for 50 pound for it Shocked can still remember seeing the price tag on it! I was fierce sickened though cause that was the only game I got with the PS1 along with the demo disc. I was only 7, I hadn't any patience or respect for all that management stuff yet! (little did I know nearly 15 years later I'd be be trying to be coaching for a living LOL)

I cant have fun playing them anymore, you need to be on your game for the whole duration or you will concede. Its very draining. I can only play 2-3 games in a row and i am shattered.
You want to play Max Power in Fifa, that's draining. You need full concentration for the entire game.


We had some serious games man haha, gotta get another one in soon! I've always loved my FIFA though, been playin sice around Fifa 97 so it's the practise that makes perfect
