Given the popularity of one-on-one fighting games, it is disappointing that PC games based on actual rules of oriental fighting sports such as karate or judo are few and far between. Since the days of ... below-average game that could have been much better with more polish and careful attention to gameplay.

The game is best described ... more hours of enjoyment than you might expect.

Review 1: I think I must have played Kick Off 2 5 hours a day for several months when I played the game the most. I was simply addicted because of how different the game was than any other football games. ... tactics. Players move into position to receive passes and gain possession. The ball, as in the real game, travels ahead of the player thus making a tackle is a matter of skill rather than of chance.
Review 1: The legendary Kick Off series goes on! The first KO game that was NOT made by Dino Dini, the legendary creator of the most famous football game ever made for Amiga, is still great, maybe even ... gameplay as Kick Off 2, Dino Dini pulled off another masterpiece with Kick Off 3. Whether you are an arcade-oriented fan, or diehard armchair manager, you'll have plenty to like in Kick Off 3.
Kick Off '97 is a disappointing entry in Anco's solid Kick Off line - a good example of how bad a game can get without a good designer at the helm (in this case: Dino Dini, the creator of the first few ... and is in need of a major revamp - perhaps Anco and Maxis could persuade Dini to get back together with Screech to produce the next version, maybe then we'd get a game befitting the name."
Decent action sports game - futuristic and brutal, comparable with Speedball 2, although miles away from its quality and fun. Instead of a square playing field, Killerball plays in a round arena. It is ... futuristic sports games on the market. But with Bitmap Brothers' Speedball and Rainbow Arts' M.U.D.S. setting high standards, Killerball just can't compete. Fun for an hour or two, nothing more.
This is a strange little golf game, played with a side view, and holes resembling more the screens of platform games. Using Left and Right arrow keys, you must decide the power of the shot, and with Up ... simple, fun, and original gameplay, and crisp graphics (especially the colors), Kimaru! has a lot of fun to offer, especially if you like wacky sports games (Zany Golf comes to my mind). Recommended.
Review 1: Kings of The Beach is a great beach volleyball game from Electronic Arts that remains to this day one of the only game of its kind. (There are actually more recent freeware releases, but they ... has pretty good graphics considering the time it was made, and is a pretty challenging game. I'd recommend this game for anyone that as interest in sport, as it has pretty good movement and realism.
Knight Games is a fun collection of medieval sports that is similar to Epyx's California Games in playability and unique events, although the graphics is inferior and the controls are not as intuitive. ... any tougher than the last one, and they all look the same except for different color clothes. Overall, an interesting game to while away 15-20 minutes at a time, but long-term play value is nil.

Thanks to the efforts of PentarouZero, English gamers now have the chance to experiene this game in English for the first time.
Review 1: This is one great game. Maybe even the best basketball game until the first NBA Live! title came out back in 1995. And, fortunately, it is very hard. Usual goal is in front of You - pick a ... game implies - you can choose from more than that as you can play the entire Playoffs. The controls aren't bad, but somehow the game wasn't able to hook me. A nice choice for basketball-fans anyway.
The last and arguably best in Titus' Crazy Cars series, Lamborghini - American Challenge is essentially the same game as Crazy Cars 3, except for the addition of a two-player mode and speed synchronization ... than Gremlins' over-hyped Lotus series. It has more extras, better car handling, and the unmatched exhiliration of outracing the cops in the middle of the night, with your night vision goggles on.
Leeds United is an appallingly bad football management game from German developer CDS. Like numerous games of this ilk, the game depicts the rise (and fall?) of an English team in their struggle up the ... If you are a die-hard fan of Leeds who must own everything with their name on it, then perhaps you might want this Real Dog. Otherwise, stick to cream of the crop like Championship Manager instead.
An average soccer game based on England's most popular soccer team in mid-1980s (before David Beckham and his Manchester United peers became all the rage), Liverpool botches the prestigious club name with ... watching old videos will be much more illuminating than playing this disappointing game that doesn't offer anything new to the genre, aside from a few digitized photos of former soccer greats.
Lombard RAC Rally is a fun driving simulation of a real-world of the same name (now called Network Q RAC Rally which takes place every year in Britain. You get to drive all the stages in the rally from ... practice any of the legs, and even participate in a multiple-choice TV quiz to try to earn some cash. Overall, if you like rally games, Lombard RAC Rally is well worth a look. Highly recommended!
Lothar Matthäus is a solid soccer simulation from Audiogenic, published by OCEAN. Despite bearing the name of one of Germany's best players, the game's scope is not as large as the likes of Champion Manager; ... Lothar Matthäus is a decent beer-and-pretzel soccer simulation/action game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Good as a quick fix, but lacking in long-term play value to warrant repeated play.
Review 1: Low Blow is a fun boxing game by Synergistic Software. Game graphics are ok with big nice boxer sprites, even though the animations couldn't be described as being fluid. Fighting against computer ... are to bars at the bottom of the screen in which you can see how much you can hold up, but also how long you can punch the opponent, but be careful, with one punch you could be lying on the ground...
Review 1: Mean Ugly Dirty Sports - that's the full name of this game. And it fits! Where else are your players allowed to beat up their opponents, get deepfreezed as a penalty, get eaten by sharks, swampmonsters ... match starts, the action is furious, the movement is fluid, and the controls are intuitive. In short, original sports games don't get any better than this-- a definite must have for any sports fan!
Mad Trax is a decent space racing game that unfortunately brings little innovation to the crowded genre. Sharky Extreme's review explains quite well why this is merely an average game: "The idea ... Seeing as they are only a team of 6 and no doubt have been hard at work with this title, it is a very nice first try and with graphics like this... well, let's just say the future looks bright."
Magic Johnson's Basketball is a decent arcade-style basketball game starring LA Lakers' superstar Magic Johnson, one of the most famous players of all time. It is a direct translation of the popular coin-op ... One: Jordan vs. Bird. Without the competition, Magic Johnson's Basketball would have been considered a great game. But basketball fans simply have many better choices to choose from than this game.
Magnaflux Runner is a fun top-down miniature racing game for Windows 3.1 that is similar to better-known Micro Machines series. Instead of racing around everyday objects, Magnaflux Runner pits your skills ... is enjoyable for a few hours. The 5-track limit and inferior gameplay compared to Micro Machines hamper the fun, though, making the game neither memorable nor as replayable as Codemasters' classics.
One of the earliest baseball games ever made for PC, Spinnaker's Major League Manager manages to convey both the excitement of the sport and the coaching challenge with nothing but text and ASCII characters. ... as the likes of Diamond Dreams Baseball, but for a game designed for beginners and casual fans with official stats and even historical teams, MLM offers enough to hold fans' interest for a while.
Review 1: My favorite manager game after the Championship Manager series. In this game you control all things from tactics and contract negotiating to stadium expanding and sponsorship deals. The game ... soccer simulators. It may not boast as much production value as Championship Manager, but if you are looking for a pleasant game with no frills, it ranks up there with the best. Highly recommended!
Review 1: Seems like the guys at Krisalis are United fans. Heh, no problem. Liverpool still has more trophies... Anyway, this is a management/action football mix. You are a manager of the team you select ... United - The Double is Top Dog material that will keep all Manchester United fans (and enemies) happy for hours as they work their way through the Coca Cola Cup and various other tournaments.
First in Krisalis' trio of soccer games based on the exploits of Manchester United, Manchester United Europe is a fun action soccer game that lets you lead this popular club in major European tournaments, ... games from Krisalis, and is great fun for casual soccer fans who are confident in their joystick skills. It's not Sensible Soccer, but it has its own personality and style that deserve a closer look.
One of the most underrated soccer games, MU:PLC is an excellent game that combines good strategic options with fun arcade-style top-down play similar to Sensible Soccer. As the title suggests, the game ... NOT choose Manchester United, whose players are semi-gods judging from their ratings G. If you like the game, also try Manchester United - The Double, the last and arguably best game in this series.
One of the most obscure football (soccer) games ever made, Manchester United is the world's first PC game based on the famous British club of the same name. The squad's exploits are depicted quite faithfully ... the colours used are awful, they really are very bland indeed, while gameplay is unremarkable. Scoring goals is very tough and the game doesn't compare well with Emlyn Hughes for playability."
Manx TT is a decent PC port of SEGA's popular arcade game which was in turn based on the real-life "Isle of Man Trophy Race" motorcycle race. Similar to other racing games, you can play the game ... that has very little replayability once you have seen all the courses. More courses, or at least the ability to play custom-made maps for multiplayer sessions, would have made the game much better.
Nice 3D racer from Canadian racing game experts Distinctive Software. Features a fun career mode and a nice selection of different tracks and cars from Sprint Cars, Stock Cars to Formula One and Indy racers. ... by later games. Overall, a solid racer that offers a few new ideas and decent realism, if not earth-shattering. Anyone who enjoys the game should check out Andretti Racing, a sequel released in 1997.
Masterblazer is Rainbow Arts' follow-up to Lucasfilm's classic futuristic sports game Ballblazer from the early 80's (that was unfortunately never made for the PC). Besides the Ballblazer game mode there's ... make this a very worthy successor. Not a lot of tactics required, it's pure action fun. If you like the Commodore 64 oldie Ballblazer (or Blue Byte's Speedball games), be sure to give it a try.
This precursor to Accolade's masterpiece Jack Nicklaus series was voted "Best Simulation" of 1986 by the SPA (who made the right choice, for once).

Up to 4 players can compete in this great golf game.

This is really not a game, but more of a utlity to create and manage a fantasy league and it's schedules. There was no option for game play , just a device to create fantasy leagues. If you really have a need for this kind of thing, all that I can say about it is that it's easy to use. Other wise it's not worth your time. I rate it a 2 out of 5.

Co-operation with IBM, (un?)fortunately, didn't stand the test of time.
Microsoft Soccer is definitely one of the worst soccer games ever made - and one of the many first embarrassments for Microsoft when it tried to re-enter the gaming industry in mid 1990s.

Given how bad the game is, it seems more likely that Microsoft Soccer was 'inspired' by his games without Dini having an active involvement.
Michael Jordan in Flight is a neat basketball game, one of the first to use digitized video footage of players, although the results are not very effective. It was also one of the first games published ... or want to see how (awful) digitized video would look in a basketball game.

This is a rare PC version including two excellent football (soccer to you Americans ;)) games for the Spectrum: Michel Futbol Master and Super Skills, both of which are sadly very little known outside ... and the games play very smoothly with reasonably realistic ball physics. Overall, definitely two of the most negleced pioneers in the genre that deserve a much closer look by fans of the sport.

You also have the option to practice ... receiver should be 40 yards in the clear down field just waiting for you to unleash a huge pass. To stop your opponents scoring a conversion, call a time out just before the kick. It's that easy.
Minigolf 1 Shot is a great entry in Retro Remakes' One Switch Competition. It finished a respectable third from over 40 entries in the competition, and deservedly so. Like all other entries, the game can ... for each hole if you do well enough. Overall, this is a very well-designed freeware game that is a great example of how good games can be designed around the one-button concept. Highly recommended.
An unfortunate casualty of when Sierra (or more accurately, Havas Interactive) shut down Dynamix in 2001, Minigolf Maniacs is a superb unreleased mini golf game that was 80% complete - less than a month ... the latest fanmade mod, Minigolf Maniacs is a very enjoyable and addictive wacky golf game that is best played on-line with a few friends, although the off-line games are fun too. Highly recommended!
This simple but fun miniature golf game features many courses with varying difficulty levels, intuitive controls, and many inventive obstacles. What makes the game a cut above other golf games, however, are the many unexpected hazards that complicate the shots-- a green, for instance, can come to life and swallow the golf ball. Definitely an above-par game.
Monday Night Football is a fun action-oriented football game from Data East that sports excellent VGA graphics, sounds (although they won't work in most new computers), and good controls. Gameplay is fast ... it much inferior to Cinemaware's classic TV Sport Football. Fans of realistic football simulations are well advised to ignore Monday Night Football and play Tom Landry Strategy Football instead.
Moto Extreme is a so-so motocross game from Artech that pales beside Road Rash and Moto Racer, although admittedly Moto Extreme tries to be a different kind of game. While Moto Racer is a "real life" ... illusion of challenge, and make the game more boring than fun. Yet another example of a game that starts with a neat concept, but fails in its execution. Play Road Rash instead of this mediocre game.

Race Time Attack, Single ... Although it's not incredibly realistic, the fast physics engine, nice graphics and simple gameplay make Moto Racer one addictive game you'll likely come back to time and again. Highly recommended.

Many aspects ... Motocross remains today one of the best simulations of the sport ever made. Great fun with decent in-game graphics, excellent presentation and good controls. Good luck and don't stall your engine!
