F.A. CUP FOOTBAL

F.A. Cup Football is officially licensed by the English F.A and lets you lead your English club side to the FA Cup victory. First, you have to select your team and how many players will play the game (maximum is 8). You can select formation and between 3 different game strategies, which are: attacking, balanced, and defensive. Sometimes you have to answer some questions where you have 3 choices. For example, if your player wants to leave the club, what would you do?
Like in the real F.A Cup, your opponent will be decided by a random draw. Before each match, you will see your next opponent. In the game, you'll see all the fixtures, and watch how the matches are going minute by minute. If your team wins, you continue to the next round (unless it was the final). Drawn matches result in replays; at this time infinite replays were used rather than penalty shootouts. Random events such as player injuries or off-pitch problems often occur before replays.

I remember staying up all night as a teenager playing this, used to love the old Spectrum and Commodore games in those games that were uniquely British and Irish, like Footballer of the year, Minder, Skool Daze, Football Manager, you wouldn’t get games like that today

Games were simpler then, but for the better.... it seems like any kind of strategy based game now involves hours of work just to get anything setup. You can see how technology has come on so much, but the idea of the "Lets have a quick game" seems more difficult now... i was addicted to Champ Manager 93, 94 in particular, even bought the Italian version of the game. you could play a season in 4-6 hours.... you'd need that amount of time just to setup your team! Amazing nostalgia though!
