We'll do our very best to despatch prizes as soon as possible after the published closing date. Winners names will appear in a later issue of CRASH. No correspondence can be entered into regarding the competitions (unless we've written to you stating that you have won a prize and it doesn't turn up, in which case drop the Viv Vickress a line at the [redacted] address).

And, anyway, there's no rules in the rough and rumble of street football.\r\n\r\nThe first thing you have to do when you start a game is select the team you want. All their faces are displayed and some of them look quite familiar. Two I spotted were Joe Blade and Eddie Large! You can also choose the colour of the pitch, the positions of the players and match duration.\r\n\r\nThe game itself isn't all that good, and far too easy if you are looking for a challenge. Once you have found a set pattern for getting to the goal and scoring you can just keep repeating this to win. The game might be more fun it you get a friend to play the other team but I shouldn't think that attraction will last long.\r\n\r\nAll the presentation and music is great and keeps up to Players' standard, although there's no sound while the football is being played - it's just a pity there isn't more playability.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"45","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Nick Roberts","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""},{"Name":"Richard Eddy","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""}],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"58%","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]},{"Issue":{"Name":"ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment) Issue 24, Sep 1989","Price":"£1.5","ReleaseDate":"1989-08-03","Editor":"Peter Connor, Steve Cooke","TotalPages":108,"HasCoverTape":false,"FlannelPanel":"EMAP B & CP [redacted]\r\nTelephone [redacted], Fax [redacted]\r\n\r\nCo-editors: Peter Connor, Steve Cooke\r\nConsultant Editors: Eugene Lacey, Jon Bates (Music)\r\nStaff Writer: Mark Patterson\r\nContributors: Ciaran Brennan, Tony Dillon, Kati Hamza, Gordon Houghton, Mike Pattenden, Paul Presley, Julian Rignall\r\nDesign: Vicky Higgs, Phil Hendy\r\nAdvertisement Manager: Gary Williams\r\nAdvertising Sales Executive: Sean Thacker\r\nAdvertising Sales Production: Sue Lee\r\nPublisher: Terry Pratt\r\n\r\nSUBSCRIPTIONS\r\nEMAP Frontline, Subscriptions Dept [redacted]\r\n\r\nSPECIAL OFFERS\r\n(Christine Stacey) [redacted]\r\n\r\nCOLOUR ORIGINATION\r\nPro-Print [redacted]\r\n\r\nDISTRIBUTION\r\nEMAP Frontline [redacted]\r\n\r\nPRINTING\r\nSevern Valley Press, Caerphilly\r\n\r\n©EMAP B&CP 1989\r\n\r\nNo part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without our permission."},"MainText":"Players Premier, Spectrum, £1.99\r\n\r\nWith all the excitement and drama featured in the football league this year, arcade style football sims have been crawling out from software house doors all year. There's been Microprose Soccer and Kick Off to mention a couple of the better ones. Street Cred, however, is not in that league.\r\n\r\nThe game starts with you as the captain having to select a team of five players from a selection of local youth degenerates. Then take them to the nearest car park for a kick around. The moves are a mixture of uncluttered passes and shots with no frills attached.\r\n\r\nThe graphics are pretty deadpan and bland, the completely monochrome playing can be excused. Not a fantastic game in any respect.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"85","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"2/5","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]},{"Issue":{"Name":"C&VG (Computer & Video Games) Issue 93, Jul 1989","Price":"£1.2","ReleaseDate":"1989-06-16","Editor":"Graham Taylor","TotalPages":116,"HasCoverTape":false,"FlannelPanel":"Editor: Graham Taylor\r\nDeputy Editor: Julian Rignall\r\nArt Editor: Andrea Walker\r\nStaff Writer: Paul Glancey\r\nAdvertising Manager: Nigel Taylor\r\nSales Executive: Joanna Cooke\r\nProduction Assistant: Glenys Powell\r\nPublisher: Terry Pratt\r\nThis Month's Cover: Jerry Paris\r\n\r\nSubscription Enquiries to: EMAP Frontline, [redacted]\r\n\r\nEditorial and Advertisement Offices: [redacted]"},"MainText":"Players Premier\r\nSpectrum £2.99\r\n\r\n\"Select your crack side from 24 different, tough street-wise city kids,\" says the packaging on this urban five-a-side game. In fact the 24 players don't differ apart from their appearance (and most of them resemble gangsters rather than kids).\r\n\r\nTo further give the impression that they aren't meant to be professionals, your team members constantly play out of position, and even the goalkeeper is wont to wander well upfield. Luckily the computer team is no better, and it's possible to score against them within seconds of almost every kickoff. The only factor working against you is the computer's intermittent failure to register goals, but not even this prevented me from winning my third match 20-3. It did prevent me from coming back for a rematch, though.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"A football game sadly lacking any creditability whatsoever.","Page":"73","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"38%","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
