"Sensible Soccer"

Please could someone recommend where I could 'obtain' this game on the 'internet' for 'nothing'? Cheers.

Anyone remember the ZX spectrum? That was worse.

You put in a cassette tape and waited around 5 - 15 minutes for the game to load.

Slight exageration. If I remember BASS was about 8 disks. Monkey Island 2 was 12, which is when I started thinking of hard drives.....

15! Woah. I think the most I got with one game was about 6.

Though the C64 with its endless hours of enjoyment of watching the timer go around as the game loaded was even more fun

Or, invent the CD drive, load the game, then go wait in the drizzle for 20 minutes to emulate those b'stard loading screens.

A decade or so of progression to get rid of those damn things, then someone complains!

entirely true.
the disk changing anticipation build the tension up nicely.. which is why "Beneath a Steel Sky" on it's 15 floppy disks was such a joy to behold ;)

I got that. Aint the same playing with pads though. Nothing like playing with a big joystick and almost snapping it when you go for some long range lob pulling it back :)

Or, use the website I've mentioned.

£30 - no chance!?

Bet you can pick it up from PC world for a fiver!
