Roy Of The Rovers |
Copyright/Publisher: Gremlin Graphics, Release Year: 1988,
Genre: Football/Soccer, Number Of Players: 1
Oh, no! Shock horror! Disaster! The Melchester Rovers team has been kidnapped and the
charity football match to save the Rovers' ground is only a few hours away! There is only
one man who can save them... the one and only Roy Of The Rovers.
The game places you in the boots of Roy Racem Melchester's demon striker, on his search through
the town as he tries to find the missing team members. On his travels he must confront hooligans,
heavies and the supporters of the opposition; some of these, and certain objects, may be
useful (hint, hint).
If he manages to find members of the team, play carries on with the match itself. If - on
the other hand - he doesn't find his teammates, then the developers will move in and bulldozer
the place flat. Rotters!

M.E. |
I've seen bad arcade adventures and I've seen bad football games, and combining two of the
worst examples of both that I've ever seen doesn't make them any better! The graphics are
atrocious and the sound... yeeeurgh!
An abysmal tune plays throughout the adventure section and the effects in the footy section
are crap. The game play on the other hand... is even worse. Not a lot seems to happen in the
adventure section and often you find yourself walking around in circles: the footy game itself...
yeuch! This must be one of the worst licenses ever. Avoid at all costs.

P.G. |
It's not even we get two games as bad as either section of Roy Of The Rovers together...
in fact, I can't remember ever seeing a two sectioned game as bad as this before! The
adventure secion is pathetic, with a uselss menu system that hardly seems to fit the game
at all.
The football game is fatally flawed, even down to the lack of goalposts. The players look
as though they've got springs attached to their feet - bouncing about like a bunch of
kangaroos. Definitely one to be missed.
