Podcast 212: Scorchio, Episode 5 – Match Day & Match Day II

This week on Scorchio! Edward and Ian have been playing Jon Ritman’s seminal Match Day series, perhaps the first football simulation game to prove that they don’t all have to be just garbage, absolute garbage. As they thrill at its pioneering advances in game physics, rakish multiplayer functionality and a version of the Match of the Day theme tune seemingly played down a tin can telephone by the murderer who is currently upstairs in your house, there’s also consideration of any or all of the following:

Was 1984 the most 1980s of all the years of the 1980s? What is the transport of the future? And what was the first thing an 11-year old Ian hit with his homemade ice hockey stick? You’ll be surprised by all, or none, of them.

And finally, a humble request. I have lost all overtime at work, and my wife has been unable to work at all this last few weeks. We have lost more than £1000 a month and are struggling to make even to most basic ends meet. we also still have our Redbubble shop, for the sartorially minded amongst you, and subscribe through joining us on Patreon. We even now have a Kofi button on the site, so do feel free to send us whatever you’re able to.
