player is near the ball he will slide and knock it towar

Whilst Defending

The player will do a lofty boot up the pitch to clear the ball. If the ball is in the air, the play­er will head the ball to safety. If the player is near the ball he will slide and knock it to
safety.

S

near the contrast, colour, and picture adjustment controls or on the rear of the TV near the
antenna and cable/satellite jacks.

CONNECTING TO A VCR

To connect Sensible Soccer to your VCR, insert the yellow video plug from the Main Unit

SENSIBLE SOCCER

“There a few games that can claim to have had such a defining effect as Sensible Soccer.
From the moment it was launched, Sensi, as it affectionately became known, was quite
simply a phenomenon. A sports game loved by sports fans and non sports fans alike.
That's because it's almost perfect in every way. Beautifully presented, tactical, deep, but
above all, fun. Sensi was a jewel in the crown of the 16-bit generation and to play it again
is to revisit an old friend. I lost a lot of hours of my life to Sensible Soccer in the 90s, and
now I guess I'll be losing a few more.”- Miles Guttery, Games Journalist, February 2005.

With over 15 million fans, Sensible Soccer was the most played football game of the early
90’s. It’s top down style, detailed mini-sprites and incredibly intuitive gameplay made it
the football game of choice and provided the springboard that turned Sensible Software
into one of the most successful developers of the decade.

CONTROLS

Sensible Soccer has two different game environments, the menu and on the pitch. To use
the menus, move the directional controls on your control pad to highlight each option box.

PLAYER CONTROL

During the game you may only control one player of your team at any one time. The man
currently under your control is the one with the white number above his head. Control will
be changed to another man if the man curr

Sliding Tackles

When running off the ball it is possible to slide into the ball or an opponent by pressing
button B. This will make your player slide in the direction he is facing. Whilst a man is slid­ing it is possible to get him to deflect the ball in a direction different to the one which he is
sliding when he makes contact with it. To do this the controller must be redirected whilst a
man is in mid slide before he has made contact with ball. This is a skill which has to be
mastered.

Headers

When the ball is in the air and you press button B, instead of sliding into the ball the man
under your control will attempt to head the ball. Such headers can also be deflected in a
similar way to sliding tackles but redirecting must take place before contact has been
made.

ON THE BALL CONTROLS

These controls apply only when your man is in direct possession of the ball. The control
methods described can be adjusted to suit your own preferences by changing the difficul­ty level in the option menu.

Dribbling

When on the ball simply press your controller in the direction in which you want the player
to dribble the ball. You will find that as the player gathers speed it is harder for him to
change direction and retain control of the ball. This is another skill that has to be mas­tered. (The way dribbling works can be altered by changing the difficulty setting from the
options menu).

free kick is awarded, or before the beginning of a half. To access the bench press the con­troller three times in any direction in quick succession. Moving the controller up and down

creating addictively playable games to a whole new level. The game went straight to the
top of the charts on its launch in 1993 and contributed to Sensible Softwar

experienced troop of survivors from previous missions.

There are 24 missions to complete, each one with a different terrain and objective and
split into a maximum of six phases. The number of kills for and against you are represent­ed by HOME and AWAY respectively.

In Play

A

ll the action takes place in the playfield which takes up the main part of the screen. You
do not control the troopers but instead determine their behaviour using the control pad.
Troopers will only follow their leader but can be encouraged to run round in circles, shoot
anything that moves, throw grenades, shoot bazookas, drive tanx, fly choppas, split up
and do their own thing and die.

All troopers start as Privates and their rank increases for every phase they survive,
although they only receive promotion when a mission is complete. After every three mis­sions the raw recruits are higher in rank because they have already received extra battle
training

The bullets fired by your troopers are clever. They will not kill a fellow trooper- unless he is
w

ounded. All other weaponry kills everyone.
