![]() We didn’t get Klopp’s answer, as security had already bundled us out the door marked “Do One”, liberally applying boot to hole in the process. “I have to say, for an 18-year-old to have the balls to kick a free-kick is better than the mistake.” Klopp then said he had told Alexander-Arnold to take the free-kick, prompting your hard-hitting Fiver to suggest to Klopp that it would surely have taken balls not to take the free-kick and therefore disobey the manager. “He is an incredible young player,” said Jürgen Klopp. Anyone know what console that would've been? CheersĮDIT 2: Found out the boxed system we had but never played was an Amstrad GX4000.The teenager Trent Alexander-Arnold’s excellent free-kick was the highlight of a 2-1 win. Not knowing which system it was it making tracking down that one game very difficult! The box was a big one, bigger than a tape but smaller than a VHS. I also searched Double Dragon but so far the games I'm seeing aren't the one, because these are Beat Em Ups whereas this was a Shoot Em Up and more futuristic. We had 2 well-known systems and then the boxed one that I think wasn't very well-known. We had a Commodore 64 that never saw use throughout my childhood as well, just an ever-present obelisk gathering dust on the sofa of the bedroom with the bookshelves.ĮDIT: Upon doing a little googling, it might have been an Atari we had, but in lieu of the Commodore or the Spectrum I'm not sure. I can't remember if the games were tapes or cartridges. We had a PlayStation enter the home around 1998 anyway, so the Spectrum, along with another boxed console the name of which I've forgotten and that never actually saw any use. Double Dragon or something it was called, and features a man wearing sunglasses on a hoverboard, looking not unlike Duke Nukem actually, with various space creatures and two large long caterpillar-like dragons floatingin the sky, one green and one red. The cover of it was something Iwould always just hold and stare at for hours. They were little cassette tapes as I recall, but we had another game for which system I know not, that had a rather large case despite again being a regular cassette tape if I'm not mistaken. We had many a game on the bookshelves in one of our bedrooms, the titles of which are lost in time now, the memory of the covers ever murkier and more hazy as the years pass. We had one in our house when I was a little 'un, but by the time I was old enough to operate the thing, it either no longer worked or we had lost some of the cables and stuff for it, and ergo the means of playing said system. Obviously, played and loved most of the above, Dizzy in particular. Urinating was an important part of the game □ I recall a game called Pub Crawl, the objective being to visit as many pubs as possible before becoming stupified and literally unable to crawl to the next pub. You could then boost away to safety □Īlso loved Spy Hunter, Kick Start (motor bike stunt game from a TV show of the same name that was excellent to me as a boy), Bomber Man, Bruce Lee, Commando, and Green Beret. Sometimes, passerbys got caught up in the blast. You had to blow up some mail boxes to open them in order to get the parts to upgrade the van. You had this basic Royal Mail van that you could kit out to be a KITT like vehicle, with boost and jump buttons. I had the rubber keyed one, then one with a built in cassette player and finally one with a disk drive! My fav game for that computer was a game called Mailstrom. I was just the right age to get the zx speccy.
