Is it done like the original was on the Amiga or is like the updated one they done recently? Didn't really think much of the latter to be honest.

If its SWOS then its the original. Simply awesome :cool:

It is the original, this was announced months ago and we're still waiting

SWOS > Football Manager

i hope its the SWOS 96/97 type, with club teams/management etc

Sensible World of Soccer IS the one with management. One before that which simply had the gameplay was just sensible soccer.

This will be a definate purchase... Been waiting for it ever since it was announced way back in last August (IIRC). Originally it was meant to be released Q1 2007 and it had fallen way off my radar due to a lack of news/info about it. I had assumed it had been canned! Thank god it hasn't!

This and pinball dreams used to be the two games i grew up with on my a500 before my parents bought me a games console.

Me and a mate would simulate most the games, but play the important ones. Then at the end of a season when it'd take 15mins to do whatever it needed to do, we'd go out on my back garden and play the real thing. Rinse and repeat then 6 hours later it'd be time for him to go home.

I always used to look for a striker with the attributes FSV. I cant remember what they stood for but it basically gave me a fast player with good control, used to skin most defences and score some crackers

Usually every goal was a shot from the corner of the 18 yard box into the opposite side of the goal :cool:

Who knows when this will come out, games on XBLA either come out practically overnight with no one knowing they were even in development (Doom, Turtles) or they fall into the deep dark Arcade hole and disappear (Sonic announced at E3 and AWOL ever since)

Still 5 or 6 games from that 10 game list M$ released the other month to be released first.
