Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11522 | Sources on this differ, and it all hints at a complicated and very, very chaotic situation. According to The One and Wikipedia, it's an officially licenced product. However, the Wikipedia article already hints (involuntarily) at the problems with this statement indirectly, by pointing to Virgin's World Cup Soccer: Italia '90 instead of this game by U.S. Gold on the article of the latter company. Zzap! explains this confusion with the following explanation: Virgin's game is the 'official' one, but U.S. Gold were allowed to make one due to the wording of their licence for the 1986 World Cup. Sounds believable. In any case, this game is the only one which has the correct teams and player names of this tournament. Neither Virgin's version nor the other Italy 1990 (by Codemasters) can boast with that. Which is quite embarassing, if Virgin really had the licence... ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! ----- Edited by Mr Creosote at 10:38 on February 27th, 2008 |
