The Advertising Blurb

For the first time the Football Association has fully endorsed a computer football game. It is a realistic football simulation which lets you take 10 teams through the competition from the First Round.

Tony Williams, celebrated author of 'League Club Directory' and 'F.A. Non-League Club Directory' has provided authentic up-to-date home and away forms for a total of 124 League and Non-League teams.

You must decide which tactics your teams use throughout the various matches and you must make managerial decisions which may well effect the morale of your team and subsequently the score! You may represent a local team, and if you are lucky enough to receive the benefit of a 'giant-killer' your team may even experience a dream cup run!

Above all, The Official F.A. Cup Football game comes up with realistic results that's why the Football Association have given it their full approval!

Review:

Presentation is excellent in this officially endorsed tie in. Sadly, it emulates the entire competition, including the draw for each round.

This is all painfully slow and the only input you have is selecting simple team tactics. Games themselves are represented in a very boring television summary style.
