Its only a computer game, not a miracle maker 8n)
As a teenager, I would spend hours on end playing this.
Forget Fifa and PES,
This is the No.1 Footie game next to the original days of Championship Manager.
Wish they would bring it to Playstation etc.
I used to have a shoe box full of spare microswitches and screwdrivers etc so I could repair joysticks that broke down mid game. The way you used to rive the joystick backwards & forwards adding height & curve etc to the ball used to absolutely ruin joysticks
This one killed my free time back in the day
My friend had the original kick off on an Amiga, and that was all the excuse I needed to buy one for, erm college. Dad went halves with me. He did query the need for a joystick for college work, bless him.
Kick off was good....trapping a ball and watching some one steam in and tackle you, and fall over - as good as a goal. And over head kicks! But compared to Seni, it was pinball.
I first discovered Seni on a cover disk (floppy disks!) on Amiga Power....a demo that finished when you scored a goal. Blew me away! And I had had girlfriends too by this time! It was the equivalent of undoing that first bra....
I think I bought every mag that reviewed it, and was there on release day with my £24.99. It was kick off slowed down, so you could do skills...Subbuteo compared to Table Football. Without having to get the iron out.
Kick off incarnations spoiled it really....KO 2 being the best version. But Sensi kept getting better....with a basic management mode, buying palyers, having star players....speedy players with poor ball control or skillful players that were slow!
You could even design some funky kits. What more could a boy (erm, in my mid 20's by time the last one came out!) want???
Why oh why did they not continue to develop this, keeping the basic format? Would have been fab on the handhelds.
Bought the mega drive version that plugs into tv recently with canon fodder and meglo manie. One play and in the bottom draw. Needs a joystick! That;s why it was so popular....joystick, pot noodles, **** - that's what boys want!

Good times
Amazing game.
The Original
The European version
The best version
Notable mentions from a bygone era
Oh, to be 8 years old again.
...and yet this SWOS is clearly labelled 96/97 season, do you think they released it as retro game from brand new?
(edited)
What platform? Are they Xbox One screenshots Buzz?
Hey thanks for that,
Thank you for sharing.

That should solve that problem at least!
As for an iOS/Android version, touch screen controls would be turd as with most games.
Might have to load a quick (hours!) game of this
How on earth was I supposed to resist after this nugget? It's a bit unrealistic though. It has Phil Jones valued at 2.2 million... which is clearly about 2 million too much. X)
Now to recreate the old custom formation I had, that I called the 'corkscrew'. Thing of beauty it was... devastating beauty.
is this not the same for free though?

10? Try nearly 20, with the core SS engine being (I think) nearly 23 years old.
Also, collision routines? I think developers had these down pat for sprite-based games in the 80s, never mind the 90s.
SWOS is perfection, you never feel cheated by any nonsense like dodgy collisions. Worry not about shader counts, hardware tessellation and volumetric lighting and just play.
Perhaps FIFA 14 is more your style of footy game?

Get the **** out this topic you console ****. This Sir, is for computer loving memories not for you with a lame console flashback. In fact can we get rid of this guy JFK style? ;-)
I had a jaguar too. Avp was the best and scariest game I played.
Press 'T' for trainer mode
Used to use a draft excluder or towel to prevent any light escaping from the bottom of my bedroom door, and I'd put a pillow over the disk drive of my Amiga 1200 to muffle the sound - so my parents had no idea I was playing this until god knows what time at night.
Record score in a 3min match....43-0
Ah, the memories.
either using MAME (Amiga Emulator) or online here - vizzed.com/pla…ame
