About the Game

Originally released in the mid 1980s for home microcomputers, Match Day boasted unprecedented ball control for a football game, along with a unique side-view '3-D' simulated pitch. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Contains the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64 versions of Match Day, plus the 128K ZX Spectrum exclusive International Match Day, which featured enhanced audio, a new international league, and a unique crowd celebration.

Gameplay

Play a thrilling game of football, controlling the player nearest to the ball, or the keeper if the ball comes close to your goal. Tackle, control the ball, dribble, pass, and shoot.

Gameplay modes include single player against a choice of three levels of computer opponent, 2-player versus, and up to 7-players in a cup tournament. A separate controller is required for multiplayer modes.

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
