Kenny Dalglish Soccer Match is a computer game based on soccer legend Kenny Dalglish - who played and managed for Liverpool F.C., Celtic F.C., and Scotland's national soccer team.[1] Dalglish would also become famous for winning the FA Cup while playing and managing for the same team.[1]
The Australian magazine PC PowerPlay gave this game a rating of 5% in its February 1990 issue.[1]
Gameplay
This was Dalglish's second licensed game and a side-scroller with a team in red playing against a team in blue.[1]
The skill level is divided into nine levels so that rookies can play against video game veterans.[1] Passing the ball is similar to the Kick Off series except that it's only possible to make long passes; making quick passing purely a matter of luck.[1] The soccer ball bounces excessively; making it very difficult to shoot on target for less than 30 yards (⅓ of an American football field).[1]
Matches can last anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes; there are no leagues or tournaments to play against other teams.[5] There are digitized photos of Dalglish himself; inspiring players to achieve goals and to have "good results.[5]" Oddly enough, the player must type in the name (city, county, official nickname, etc.) of his team as well as the opponent's.[6] This means that players can have their local weekly soccer club play against Manchester United or Chelsea F.C. with no difference in gameplay.[6] Kenny Dalglish always gives the player valuable advice; expert players can choose to ignore it.[6]
