MATCH DAY (1984) Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum

Welcome to 'Match Day', the soccer arcade game. Match Day is no ordinary soccer game but a 3-D action arcade style game where you control the action. The game is seen from a 'camera-eye' view. The camera automatically scans the pitch. Each team has its own colour strip (in the normal game this is white shirt, white shorts and yellow socks for team 1 and yellow shirts, yellow shorts and white socks for team 2) and is made up of a goalkeeper, defenders, midfield players and attackers. During the game each player moves into position according to the standard football rules (ie. according to which side has possession, where the ball is, what position he plays in etc.). You have control of the player in possession of the ball or that player who is best placed to tackle or intercept the ball. This player is indicated on-screen by his socks turning the colour of the rest of his strip. With this player you can dribble, tackle, pass, head, block, trap, take corners and throw-ins and perform virtually all of the skills of real football.
