BARGAIN BASEMENT It's time to tiptoe down those creaky old stairs again. JONATHAN DAVIES leads the way... FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS Cult Games £2.99 Reviewer: Jonathan Davies Oh no! It can't be! It is! I hate them! I really, really do! Where's Marcus? Why me? I know I'm not meant to say things like this, but they are all the same, aren't they? No, they are. These football management games, I mean. I've gone over this one with a fine toothcomb, laboriously comparing it with all the other ones, and I can honestly say that I can't spot anything that hasn't been done before. For those still reading, Football Champions would seem to be a football league kind of thing, in which you've got to manage a team and get them to win both the League Trophy and the FA Cup. Fun, eh? It's quite nicely presented but runs a bit slowly (there's probably a fair amount of Basic lurking in there). And finally here are a few of the features' listed on the packaging - 'week counter', 'goal difference +-', 'handling', 'average gates', 'Home & Away' and 'change club'. Irresistible, huh? So, if a footie management game's what you're after, I can't see anything desperately wrong with this one. The only real problem is that its name has just scrolled off the top of the screen, and I can't remember what it is! It just goes to show...

And if you really dig this screenshot (well there must be someone out there who does) then scootie across to our YS Footie Spectacular on page 53, why don't you? Hot poop lists and no mistake!
