Monday competition: Games we miss

Fever pitch: Sensible Soccer

Over the years, I've played many football games on computers, consoles and arcade machines. I like most of them, and love a few: they're the one place that I can *actually* be a god on the pitch, rather than just wanting to be one.

Right now, there's no beating Pro Evolution Soccer 4, where my beloved Chelsea are currently on top of the world - holders of the Konami versions of the Champions League, Premier League and the League Cup.

But it brought a nostalgic tear to my eye when this week's games reviews looked at Sensible Soccer: one of my favourite games of all time. I've already drooled on about how much I loved my Amiga, but Sensi Soccer was the best game on that lovely little machine. It was fantastic: a bizarre mixture of football, ping pong and hilariously-named players.

So, a stand-alone console just for playing Sensi? Beautiful.

In honour of this momentous remembrance, then, here's this week's competition. The prize is, of course, an Arcade Legends: Sensible Soccer Plus console courtesy of Radica (which also contains Cannon Fodder and Mega-Lo-Mania for good measure).

Q: What's the game you miss most, and why?
