That last clue was next to useless. I'd already worked out that the game involved the kicking about of aforementioned animals from Clue 2.

I have a vague memory of something like this, but it's not as clear as memories of older games on older platforms. Wasn't shareware was it?
I might have to give up after the next clue if it doesn't spark any kind of memory.

Its the fact that it came out on 8bits as well that's foxing me.
Was it some kind of 'snooker/pool' version of football? And was it U.S. or rest of the world Football(like soccer)?

Its not one of the demented versions of sensible soccer is it? They did one that combined cannon fodder and SWOS, but maybe they did one that had cute furry creatures to kick around(typical sensible humour ).....ummm i guess it could have been called SWOKC(sensible world of kickable creatures)?

more clues vicar

No, not sensible soccer you have to remember there are alot more computergames than just soccer. If you take to the realms of fancy...

So there I was, amongst the crowd
Seeing a dwarf and an ogre, taking the field and duke it out...
To my surprise, that wasn't the end of it
Because his next opponent was a squid!...

Soccer was just a red herring.

Question: I know that goggling is out, but what about other Web resources? Like going to Lemon C64 and browsing through the games there, that is, not doing a keyword search, but just leafing through them.

Well, in the first place. We all look at retrosites like Lemon or the giant list of 8-bit programmers to find some nive bit of trivia. Where else would we get all those screenshots and illustrations from? So in that sense we're all dodgy geezers.

These days I try to ' antigoogle' my posts as much as possible. You would already need to have a good idea of what you're looking for to find it.

True - i never google to find the answer to a game i'm guessing, but i do use it and other resources to find links for the games i've posted to be guessed.................thats not all greek is it?

To guess in the pure sense and spirit of the thread is to just 'know' of the game your getting clues to. Or just guess at random and hope

er i'm guessing 'Barbarian' as you could kick your defeated enemies head of the screen.......

Nope, it ain't Barbarian (we already had that one) but you could probably see a few colleagues in this game.

Well Cap, even though the thought of kicking cute furry creatures around kinda rings a dim bell, i'll have to surrender on this one - post a link when someone finally gets it as i'm interested to find out more

Can we have a clue as to what the creatures were?
I've got a feeling that they were sheep, but this still does not get me any closer to the title. I realise that you can't name them, but I'd like a clue as to whether they were real or made-up animals.
Was this on release everywhere? I hope it's not a weird Dutch-only game.

Very well , I'll step out of shelby mode. ..

First up. They're made-up animals, not real ones.

Second, I'll try and describe them. Imagine a round brown furball, just a bit smaller than a football. Now imagine that those furballs have cute eyes and a mouth. You almost feel sorry for kicking them about. but not sorry enough. These furballs can move around by bouncing around. But during a match they will cower and cringe when you prepare to kick them.

Third, no it's not some exotic Dutch game. It's European however.

I'm sure I remember reading about this game, but have no idea what it is called. I'm fully aware that I'll beat myself over the head when you tell us the answer, but at the moment have no ideas.
I'm with CoThor in the white flag-waving booth.

I doubt that it was a Euro-only game. More likely he meant that Infogrammes or someone made it. That's what European meant to me at least. Is anyone still actually trying to guess this, or have we reached the critical mass before we can get our hands on the answer?
