Roogames' conversion of Lambourne Games Soccer Simulation

'Full Time'

The conversion stays faithful to the original game, but the game design has been built on in certain areas to add to the action which is recreated.

Game Overview:

Headed Goal gives you all the drama and excitement of Club and International soccer. It is a replay simulation based on the dice and chart game Full Time, but this design has been expanded in many ways to give many user options and key tactical decisions to be made while still maintaining the integrity required of any replay simulation Pick your team, set your formation brief your players. Pass to feet or look for your towering striker. Push players forward in search of the winning goal, or switch to 5-5-0! to defend a one goal lead away from home. Keep an eye on the action to spot those players not performing on the day - Is your key midfielder tiring late in the game - Do you need fresh legs for extra time or is your best penalty taker sitting on the bench as the dreaded lottery approaches.
