Match! – Super League Football Game

It’s been a while since I posted a new web-based game on the internet, so when I saw this one I thought it was very apt given the new football season is fast approaching.

MATCH magazine has come up with a new football game that coincides with their new season preview edition of their magazine – Match Super League web game. It’s certainly made me aware of them again, I remember buying this magazine on a regular basis as a kid, well having it bought for me of course!

The allows you to create your team including a name and kit colours and then get on with playing the game – this involves taking your chances at volleys, free kicks and penalties. The same goes for your opponents, so you need to try and save in their opposing attacks.

This isn’t a hard-core gaming experience, but certainly a fun little game to while away a bit of time at work as you challenge your colleagues and have a bit of banter going on – with it’s retro-style graphics, it really does remind me of my days of playing the mighty Sensible Soccer on my Commodore Amiga!

Match Super League makes for a quick-fix of football gaming, if you prefer a longer term, more considered approach to football gaming then I recommend you take a look at what Dom wrote about in his recent post; ‘Free Fantasy Football – A Perpetual Gamer?‘ and also get signed up for the 7th season of my free fantasy football league game – the Zath Premiership!
