Re: UK mini sensible soccer tourni

I love the photos, Lobo -- congratulations on your victory! Also, it s so cool that you managed to have a shot of the in-progress Speedball 2: Evolution game for the iPhone -- I don t even have an iPhone, but I m very excited about this game.

I noticed that (with the exception of the bonus match against Jon) the game was configured such that everybody played as Brazil. Is this standard for Sensi tournaments?

Control must be a real challenge for developers of touch-sensitive games, especially when it comes to titles that would traditionally have been played with a joystick/joypad.

Thanks for the warm welcome. You might not have seen me yesterday, but I was hovering around the Sensi area for most of the day (blond hair, tinted glasses... I would usually say that I m quite tall, but when big Steve s around he makes everyone else appear tiny!!). I ll need to get some practice in before I think about joining any leagues -- I was completely blown away by the level of skill that was on display in some of yesterday s matches; it puts to shame the things that I used to do on Mega Drive Sensi!!

OK guys I have photos on my facebook, www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=712657151 more than welcome to add me. The photos will be under R3PLAY hope you enjoy them.

Thanks to all players who took part and congratualtions to Lobo.

I used Brazil because its the decant team in swos and I wanted to make it fair as possible. Players were asking me before kick off if they could have a pratice, I had to say no as it wouldnt be fair on other players and it would take up more time. I my self never played the game against another human since I didnt have time, I wanted to take part but it would have been more work load for my self.

If it was an all day tournament then yes I would have taken part. I am happy that I got 32 players and I wish that Codemasters was there to see it for them selfs so they can think again about making a proper swos and that swos is not dead. Having said that Codemasters donated 2 T-shirts and Jon offered to sign them, R3PLAY provided the trophy, they told me it would be small but at the end of the day I dont think Lobo couldnt care less about the size of the trophy as his dream came true by having a game with Jon hare and beating him.

I am very proud of my self that I manage to hold such tournament and as someone pointed out its the first off its kind here in the UK. If and thats a big IF I might do it again next year, it will depend if I get enough help and hardware.

PS

Jon Hare has played on my amiga as we used it on the final game hehe!

Brilliant, wish I d been there. Was Jon any good at playing Lobo? Regarding the 0-6 he could be at the same level as me
