QuoteThe title was reviewed at the time for multiple platforms, including the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. Reception was mixed: Commodore User felt the price was too steep for what was offered, while Your Spectrum appreciated the idea but felt more attention should have been paid to the software itself rather than the packaging and extras.
Despite these reviews, the game itself seemingly vanished — becoming one of many titles lost to time. Matt Gander managed to find the board game in 2022 in a charity shop (https://www.gamesasylum.com/2022/01/11/1985-football-sim-bryan-robsons-super-league-was-a-product-destined-to-fail/) – but tragically without the cassette tape. However, oddly the ZX Spectrum version seems to have been online for a while – though the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC versions have been missing... That is, until now...
Colin Bell got in touch with Games That Weren't back in 2022 to say that he had the game, fully boxed and crucially complete with the cassette tape. Things got a lost a little bit, but then Colin got in touch again and we met up briefly at Zzap Live in 2025. Colin promised GTW that he would post the tape down for a loan and so to ensure the tape was fully preserved, and here we are.
