But I suggest you to wait until the >REAL GAME will come: Kick Off 2, that will be the BEST soccer game the >amiga has ever seen, according to some magazines, and Kick Off 1. I thought Kick Off (the original) was one of the best games EVER, and now there is to be a version 2!! The only problem that I found with Kick Off is that it doesn't support NTSC. At least I couldn't get an NTSC version (I have an NTSC Amiga in Australia which is a PAL country). The PAL version I have has all the menus off the bottom of the screen (which is not a big problem) but it just makes the screen go black at the start of the actual game. Does anyone know of an NTSC version of Kick Off or a patch for the PAL one to make it work on NTSC? Also I hate using digital joysticks! Why can't they at least also support the mouse if not an analog joystick. Thanks for the info on Kick Off 2. -- Andrew Phillips (andrew@teslab.lab.oz.au) Phone +61 (Aust) 2 (Sydney) 289 8712

Some european hackers have written a great utility called PAL BOOT (I have PAL BOOT 2.0) which moves the whole screen up a bit. This effectively "centers" the PAL screen over the NTSC screen. If you are lucky, you only lose part of the border on the top and bottom. Unfortunately, I have not seen it on any ftp sites; however, I hear that it is on Compuserve.
