Classic gaming poll: Sensible Soccer vs Elite
"Do you remember?", asked Marillion’s Fish, about 20 years ago. Well, do you?
hecklerspray wants to know all about those favourite gaming memories from consoles and computers of yore. And so does The Guardian, with Bobbie Johnson offering one lucky reader a new Sensible Soccer plug-and-play console.
So here it is: we want to know which of the following you prefer, and why (leave your comments below). Your two classics to choose from today: Sensible Soccer vs Elite.
Has to be Sensi soccer, partly because I could never figure out what the hell was going on with Elite.
From scoring direct from corners, to 50 yarders into the top corner staright from kick off, you couldn’t beat Sensi.
Elite is a better one player game but Sensi rocked everyone’s world in 2-player mode. So it depends – are you alone or entertaining friends? : )
Both sensational of course.

I remember being able to score Nerlinho-style goals from the crossing position.
Instead of an outswinging cross you’d aim it for the top corner with top amounts of swerve. Brilliant, and the marvel of it psychologically destroyed any opponent.
Bring it back!
Sensible soccer all the way. It was fun to change the hair color on players, and create your own teams. Sensible Soccer on the AMIGA for sure. Looping curlers into the top corner. Loads of fun. It replaced KICK OFF in the football games stakes.
It has to be the Amiga version of sensi soccer. There was a Sega version but it was a poor imitation of the original.
Sensi – the most playable football game ever. Kick Off afficionados secretly know this.
