1992s Sensible football is one of the greatest video games ever, but the developers of Sensible Software did not create their classic in a vacuum. They had to work to get there by developing the 1988s Microprose football
The direct precursor in almost every respect Sensible, Microprose– as published in the US Keith Van Eron’s professional football– had the same top-down action and arcade sensitivity as Sensible, just instead of appearing on the Amiga and PC and blowing up in the early 90s, it was released on the Commodore 64 and PC in the late 80s and … was a hit too, just not that cultural force
Strangely enough although the Microprose brand has returned from the deadThis is being published by Ziggurat, likely because the new Microprose is only interested in military games. It is Replacement money on Steam.
