AKA: Tea-for-Two A-Bee-Bah
CU Amiga's career of spectacularly bland crapness (It's Good Because It Is Good reviewers, an Editor ex-of Sinclair User with all the attendant quality that implies, 90% for Rise of the Robots) came to an off-the-bridge-into-the-gorge end with their review of Kick Off '96.
Kick Off '96, you may recall, was foully bugged, leading to, among other neglectful errors, the total inability to finish a match except maybe one in twenty games, a clock that carried on ticking waiting for you to take a goal kick and non-recognition of a second disk drive. CU Amiga gave it 79%.
A lively discussion ensued on THe INTERnet,TM with CU Amiga readers supporting their beloved mag by suggesting that, if, say, holding down the fire button while running meant you were untacklable, you ought not to hold down the fire button while running, and Stuart hoping none of them ever held significant positions in government, while deriving a secret amusement from the episode.
Entertainingly, the lively discussion escalated into the staff of CU Amiga defending the review in relay, perhaps unwisely in the face of its being penned by a blistering incompetent demonstrably unqualified to construct a convincing argument let alone be trusted to present enough reasoned discussion for a reader to make an informed buying decision.
CU Amiga is approximately 100 issues old.*
