Before Actua Soccer came about, Zeppelin almost beat Gremlin to it with this state of the art soccer game. We say state of the art, but we are assuming it wasn’t that good because I haven’t heard of it before … Continue reading →
A quick write up on a title which we only really knew anything about thanks to a news snippet in Games Machine issue 32. The game was mentioned and previewed in a few magazines as to be released on the … Continue reading →
