However, being the bastard child of Team17’s Project X and Super Stardust is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when the small…
Kick-Off II is one of the most difficult football (or soccer, if you’re NTSC) games to master. Oliver Stender and Frank Fuhrmann have done just that, though, and their skill has lead to them being two of the highest ranked players to take part in the Kick-Off II World Cup — championships that are still being held today.
