KICKER was one of the first German-speaking football managers. Inspired by the Footballmanager published in 1984 on the ZX Spectrum, KICKER was developed on the Atari ST from 1987 and had a number of then really fresh features that set it apart from comparable games. KICKER was later bought bei Starbyte and published commercially as Starbyte Super Soccer.

I just wanted to let you know that there is a memorial page about KICKER

You can find it on https://kicker.weigand.xyz


You can find there a new release for the Atari ST that fixes some bugs of the version finalized in 1991. It runs great with all the Atari ST emulators like Hatari.

What set KICKER apart from other football management games in the early 1990ies

- 4 leagues from the association league to the Bundesliga
- Participation in the German and international cup
- over 700 authentic German players, and over 100 clubs
- A well thought out and well structured game menu
- Mouse control (!)
- Exciting graphic game scenes
- 1 - 6 players
- Player transfers, training camps, team management, advertising, stadium expansion and more….
- A variety of graphical statistics and tables
- Probably unique to this day: self-defined “football worlds”, in which the rules could be individually adapted

Very close to 8bit Jungle Hunt

The conversion of the classic ZX Spectrum game by Costa Panyai.

One of the few games released which had left all of the debugger symbols inside the main program.

Ty Marcer. I have fond memories of playing this with my friends, who I've also lost contact with as I moved to England.

FYI, The font/text code is the same one I used under the alias Duckula on Cynix disks.

Nice to see you here!
just added the game for you.

I wrote this game!
I didn't think copies of it made it far from my small circle of friends in Edinburgh. If anyone has a copy of this please contact me as I lost it when my house was burgled and all my ST stuff was stolen.

I must have had a demo of some sorts, because there was only the submarine level and I never realized until recently that other vehicles were available!

Very addictive game! Disk can be downloaded for free here:
