Yep, had this. A TREMENDOUS game.Test Match was the DOGS!!!!!
I could play that for hours and hours... once did a whole Ashes series in one day.
Test Match was the daddy of cricket games. Sixes into the corners and if you played on a table top with good timimng you could hit the ball out of the ground! Also, with a wiggle of the bowling shoot as the ball came down you could pretend you were bowling your spinner, John Emburey was particularly effective in my team. One game we played had to be abandoned, possibly the only time a test match has been abandoned due to the ball being swallowed. The next test began once nature had taken its course.
I had the cricket, rugby and the football.
Cricket....a pain to set up, you coulnt use the bowling figure as the ball would shoot off the pitch at 100 miles an hour...the bails never stayed on and teh bat stick handle thing kept breaking.
Rugby...never saw the point....flicking every player to keep up with play was a farce...the only decent thing was the kicker, which was the football corner taker....spent many long seconds playing that game until it was consigned to the loft.
Football....we had our leagues, we had our cups, we even let girls play....( my mates sister was the dogs dangly bits at subbuteo football and she always played with my Norwich City team making it even worse.) One thing...subbuteo Floodlights...WHY?
I believe they did stands as well - double why! I forgot about the angling game, remember seeing it the shops but have no idea how it was played, must have been thrill a minute stuff. Kids today don't know how lucky they are.
