Computer Games Football 1980

Mass. The entrance to the PC in the home of people have started early in the eighties, ERA 8-bit machines - the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, above all others. And off course, football matches, with them.There was playing some of the companies in this category, even before that (the company Atari, Intellivision, Ramtek, and some others), but the outbreak of the actual quality of the football games are were made when computers came into the hands of "ordinary" people outside of large companies. Home computer at that time were strong enough to withstand a relatively complex tasks with an acceptable sound and graphics capabilities, yet it was so cheap programming was not reserved for older boys. Some of those new talented developers immediately began to make a new page in the history of computer games.
Important moment occurred in 1983, when a programmer named Andrew Spencer, developed for international football. With good graphics, and improved flight model and the ball nine-level computer opponent (usually in the first game only two players), this game captured the market in no time. In fact, there are some opinions, because the journey proud history that this game is the best result, when it comes to football, 8-bits, and more.
Perhaps this assessment was tinged with nostalgia, and maybe it was just the result of weak competition. During the reign of 8-bit, there were dozens of football produced, but only a few of them could be called - good. Titles have been worthy of note - the day of the game since 1985 (and is a sequel to 1988), Gary Lineker is Superstar Soccer from Gremlin Graphics, and 5, by a company called Anirog Side (hereinafter called Anco, the name was still longing for their history the name of soccer).
On the contrary, the markets were filled with titles like shit, and it was unclear how their editors to find the courage to show the public the first place (which has had the opportunity to play in the Super Soccer by Imagine, or Peter Beardsley International Football Association, the Grand Slam, you know what I'm talking about). Eventually, when everyone has indicated that the 8-bit computers are not able to bring out the quality of football, two titles C64 saved the day. In 1988, MicroProse MicroProse Soccer made, and published in the audiogenic Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. Two big football games, which is dealt with in different ways. MicroProse Soccer renovated from top (although visually very similar, a few years old arcade game Tehkan World Cup), a fast, clean and colorful design options, for example - and replays of the time during the game.
Moreover, past Emlyn Hughes International Soccer visuals about the same as the old world football, but with the full range of movement and ways to go kicking the ball. He also participates in various characteristics of each player in team.Those two games have been the cornerstones of football games on 8-bit machines, but their fame does not last too long. Eighties drew to a close, and with them disappeared at the age of the game that may have graphics and sound bad blocks from the perspective of today, but actually was - fun.
