Got it one christmas, and was looking forward to it.
Greatest load of sh!t i've ever got for christmas. Tried to 'play' it once, then it went in the bin. |

Ranks along with monopoly as one of the few games where no one plays by the official rules. Flick to kick means flicking a la releasing a bogey using a thumb in my opinion, subbuteo rules counts these as illegal preferring a nancy flick with finger alone.

you needed your dad to pin your pitch on to a board

By:
My grandad did that for me, bpp :)
I had stands, fans, floodlights, a scoreboard, perimeter fence, dugouts with managers and coaches, corner kick takers, throw-in takers, a TV gantry with cameramen and commentators... |

players got broken wholesale |
|
By:
my glued legs/torso XI were unbeatable. maybe the extra weight ?
amount of flick **ers you couldn't make up though :| it's a flick ffs not a general full hand manipulation (that's extra).. |

I was mint & played in the UK Championships one year - lost to that lad from Brimingham with the long finger nail. Never had a grandstand. Used to use Melchester Rovers (i.e. Liverpool which my Mam painted a thin yellow stripe on using a**tail stick & Humbrol enamel paint). Happy days :)

Two other games I remember fondly were the horse racing game Escalado, and a dice based statistical football game called Logacta Chart Soccer or something similar.
|
|
By:
^ Jesus Christ, logacta. Labour of love, that! I also played a game called 'Bryplay' which was a card-based football game based on each side having an ability of 'A' (Real Madrid etc) through to 'D' (total no hopers).
|
|
By:
Logacta was excellent - used to play it for hours on end with a friend. Even had European competitions where I first got to hear of teams like Roda JCK / AZ Alkmaar etc.

I remember as a kid (and being a Blackpool fan) we couldn't find a Blackpool subbutteo team anywhere in the local shops, so we went into Blackpool itself to try and find one. Could we find a Blackpool team in Blackpool itself?!?! Could we buggery!

By:
My mum and dad got me subbuteo target man by mistake the one where the box made up the pitch like a five a side stadium, ended up being so much better,my m8s pitches used to crease and scrumple up, plus with the pitch having sides on it never went out of play
