Just a Lets Play of RealSports Soccer

[unoclay]

Just uploaded some footage of a friend and i playing some 5200 Real Sports Soccer (a game I loved as a kid). Feel free to check it out, comment, subscribe....etc etc etc. I tend to focus on older games, mostly, maybe you'd enjoy it (you're on an Atari message board, after all!)

 

I enjoy documenting these old friends, so welcome your input in whatever form you care to provide.

 

(FYI, this was recorded with some goofy technology, and my tech has been vastly upgraded since the time of this recording. Dont be put off by the low-def approach. )

Loved this game!

Thanks, but it is frustrating watching you guys try to play and move the ball up the field! I kept yelling out "pass the ball!"

Ha, after I recorded this, I discovered that a pin socket on the 1p controller had broken, which was giving me impossible challenges with my button inputs. So, my passing was a lack of control (my friend was just new to the game). I got the console fixed since then--so if i ever do a re-recording, I'll be a bit better, I assume. ;']

 

I remember dominating my brother as a kid by simply knowing how to pass ;']

Ok, pretty funny actually. I also used to play this game a lot in the middle 80s.

ahhh... the 80s, the last days of "proper football", Football League First Division/Division One, England's top-flight league until 1992, well before the big money of the Premier League (1992-date), when players played for the "crest on their chest" rather than for the money, when winning titles, medals and trophies meant more, also gone (mostly thanks to the Taylor Report after the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, which saw 96 Liverpool fans lose their lives for their love of their football club) the days of jam-packed terraces at either end of the pitch, like the North Bank at Highbury in North London (Arsenal fan since 2013 speaking, COYG!!!) and of course the World-Famous Kop at iconic Anfield in Liverpool.... and ohhh..... those tiny shorts they used to wear......and, no names on the backs of their shirts, just a number, and they might not wear the same number back-to-back weeks in a row!!!

No Embarrassment needed. Thanks for sharing and keeping the 5200 in the spotlight
