Yet another early version of a released game which has never seen the light of day. 4 Soccer Simulators was previously in production by none other than Simon Nicol, working with Said Hassan of Rigels Revenge fame.
According to Said who recently spoke to GTW, him and Simon were assigned the game (A port of a crappy Z80 game) and the conversion was a real “hack and slash” job.
The Darling’s were apparently not happy with progress with their Codemasters GOLD title, so they scrapped what Simon and Said produced, and brought other people in quickly put together a new game.
So now it remains to be seen if a piece of Simon Nicol’s long lost work could be uncovered one day. Said has confirmed that he has nothing of the game, so really it is down only to Simon if he still has the game.

Sadly I used the graphics I was given and wrote the code I was told to write so that it was a direct copy from the Speccy. It was a complete pile of poo but that’s what they wanted. Have I mentioned I hate doing conversions!?
Thanks Simon – is this something by any chance that you kept?
