Found 7th Jul 2014

Probably wasted on todays youth Classic games in my opinion,

360 controller support and full audio commentry.

What's cool about it:
Choose between being a player, a coach, or a player-coach for any one of the 1,500 Club and National teams.
Features more than 26,000 real-life-players with accurate personal statistics!
Manage one or more teams throughout a 20 season career and take your team all the way to the European Cup Final
Overview:

Sensible World of Soccer is brimming with 26,000+ real-life players, each one with carefully researched statistics and abilities, 144 competitions, from the local tournament all the way to the European Cup Final. Full career records and the unique scouting feature allows you to track and observe a player’s progress and evaluate their contribution to your team. If management is not your style then dive into the action and play for your team. Be prepared to lose quite a few nights’ sleep as you take your team from being a bunch of nobodies to all-time champions, in this 1990s favorite soccer game! Or "football", as we call it in Europe.

What platform? Are they Xbox One screenshots Buzz?

7th Jul 2014

Still the best football game I've ever played for addiction and game play!

7th Jul 2014

Cant understand why this hasn't been re released as an App. They would make a killing

7th Jul 2014

What a classic game,

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.

SWOS is on Xbox Live (360) I'm not sure about PS though.

Agreed! I got this on the 360 and it was my most played game on the console out of the 50+ games that I had (sold the entire collection off including the console for a Wii U). Is this the same version as the 360?

7th Jul 2014

Had this on the amiga 500. Epic entertainment.

7th Jul 2014

Game of my youth!

JoyToKey is an excellent shareware app I just found that let me configure my 360 pad in minutes to play with

How do you get a 360 controller to work?

Regarding the GoG version (they seem to be license holders of this version)

"Will that allow me to use my xbox360 controller?"

"Yes, as long as your PC recognizes it and you will be able to play online, too."

7th Jul 2014

Fantastic game. Have fond memories of managing to get this running on the uni pc's about a decade ago. Me and mates having mass Sensi sessions hogging all the PCs to the annoyance of many Norwegians (other students too polite to say anything I guess).

Couple of reports of people using Joy2Key (Sure it cant be too hard, Only 5 buttons to assign ;))

This will kill your eyes. So worth it though!!!!!!!!!

Cold.

No Messi and Ronaldo rendered in several hundred thousand polygons.
No 4K resolution option.
No +300fps frame rate.
No season pass or micro-transactions.

It doesn't even display at lowly Xbox One resolutions so it must be rubbish.

/sarcasm

7th Jul 2014

Hot, simply because I wasted a good few months of my life during my teens playing this beauty or an earlier version anyway. I wouldn't go near it again as sometimes nostalgia has a way of booting you in the balls.

happy days playing this on my shiny Amiga 1200. no fancy graphics, no Alan Smith dodgy commentary just pure addictive playability.

7th Jul 2014

Best game ever. Used to be so addicted to it, my dad used to have to drag me away from the PC at tea times because I always needed just 5 more minutes!! Happy days :-)

7th Jul 2014

What I need really is an iOS release for ipad

7th Jul 2014

Utter utter rage at going down 0-3 to Southampton in front of the faithful. Haven't raged that hard for some time!
At this rate ill struggle to beat the 34 points we got in the real league that year.

No Messi and Ronaldo

Ha! Brilliant! With the roster being up to date then Rooney should have hair again and 'JT' should be collecting the World Cup dressed in his Chelsea kit soon!
