ZX Spectrum screenshots

thumbnail — This screen displays as the game loads

thumbnail — The first choice the player must make is the type of game.

thumbnail — A league game has been selected. There is no existing league to load so a new one is set up. First question is how many players are there. There's just me so I reply 1

thumbnail — The game briefly displays a picture of a match in progress, not from the game, before over-writing it with a league table. Here only the players name has been altered.

thumbnail — All leagues have fixtures. These are the first round matches

thumbnail — The TIME option on the fixtures screen allows the match duration to be altered. Default is 15 minutes. I reset to 5

thumbnail — Team MOBY plays in match 1

thumbnail — Before play can start the player must select a controller

thumbnail — This looks like a good sign, team MOBY wins the toss ....

thumbnail — .... and will be playing an attacking formation

thumbnail — ... the computer does the same.

thumbnail — The player is selected by scrolling through the team with the Z / X keys. The currently selected player's symbol flashes. Selection can be aborted & restarted

thumbnail — The ball is on the centre spot. The central red player is selected. The small white spot to the right is the direction he's facing.

thumbnail — The player is turned to face the ball with the Z / X keys, then SPACE is used to make the shot.

thumbnail — The bar indicates two things, the amount of spin on the flick, and the power of the flick

thumbnail — The blue team are attacking. Moby gets the chance to defend by flicking a player into a strategic position.

thumbnail — After an illegal move players can optionally be repositioned

thumbnail — Nil - Nil at half time.

thumbnail — A players move must be completed in 30 seconds....

thumbnail — ... or else an indirect free kick is awarded

thumbnail — End of the match. The game pauses here until ENTER is pressed

thumbnail — Naturally the result is displayed. I regard this as a moral victory

thumbnail — Then the next match in the league is played ....

thumbnail — ... which is between two computer teams and can be watched. A good way to pick up tips on game play & tactics.
