Looking for very simple txt Aussie rules score generator game - played it at school - barryBootdrives - 06-07-2021
Hi
Many many moons ago I remember playing a very simple text game called footy or football. it was on a BBC machine ( I went to a high school in Victoria , Aust early 1990s )
The game was very simple. it asked for two teams names , then generated qrt time scores . no fancy graphics , just basic txt
Been looking everywhere for this , I believe it was part of a compilation pack. can't remember any other games on the list.
Tried the achieve . org acorn sets. spent hours yesterday with no luck.
Does anyone remember this game, or know who may of released this title.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Barry, firstly, welcome to the forum
Sorry I cant help with anything BBC related, but have you checked here for a possible name of the program
Category:BBC Micro and Acorn Electron games - Wikipedia
There are a couple of Football games listed that seam they could be what your after.

Also, if you haven't already, try asking on the StartDot forums. They're incredibly helpful on all things Acorn.
Cheers!
