ESSENTIAL READING
Hi Retro Gamer,
Firstly, the praise. Congratulations on such a fantastic magazine, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now. I recently organised my bills, and I placed the subscription in the ‘essentials’ category, alongside food, electricity etc. Every issue is like a gaming history lesson or nostalgic journey.
Now, maybe you can help with something really random. I used to love football games for the Amiga: SWOS, Kick Off 2, the usual, but there was one called Manchester United Europe, by Krisalis Software. For many, many years now, I’ve told people about a player getting booked for arguing with the referee. I’m not sure how it happened, but I vividly remember it. The problem is, nobody else remembers it, even internet searches have no records of this. So, I was hoping, do any of your staff remember it? Or readers? Am I insane… or did this actually happen in the game? This has been bugging me for so long, it would be brilliant to finally get proof that it was indeed a feature of the game!
Best regards,
Darren Singleton
Cheers for your letter, Darren. Unfortunately nobody on the team has played this game before so we can’t help you in this instance. Maybe one of our readers will have a better idea? This does remind Darran of the time he convinced himself he saw a Star Wars advert for Refreshers, where Yoda passed a tube of the sweets to Luke and they turned into a lightsaber. No one else can remember that, either.
