Soccer/Futbol finally released!

Hi folks,

I've just finished coding the "Soccer/Futbol" game this morning ad hopefully, without any bugs or misprinted text (i'm almost half a century old so bear with me...LOL!). I have put the two different overlays for this exclusive European & South American release:



And i also put not 1 or 2 scoreboards, but four to choose from: the mini-scoreboard and the regular scoreboard (as usual) plus these two:

 The "Newer" scoreboard


and the "Overkal" scoreboard.


And you can mix & match between overlays (or not) and scoreboards (or not). I also coded the "Cartridge #5" for the "11 Meters Kick" penalty as described in the manual. Just press "F6" and this what happens:


Player #2 is now in the left goal and Player #1 is in the upper-left corner and when you want to make your kick, the speed of the ball is almost at it's maximum speed (i've put 800 for ball speed instead of the usual 300) and in the upper-right corner, "CART 5" is displayed so that you know you are still playing with cartridge #5. To revert back to playing with cartridge #3, just press again "F6".

BTW, did any of you folks knew that "Uppy" from Atari Age forum wanted to release this game for the North American residents? He announced it in 2015 and was still pending in April 2017 but i don't remember if he wanted to release both overlays or simply one. 

And just a small fun fact, i have drawned the entire "Overkal/Undiscovered clone (name withheld for now)" pixel by pixel as i only had a poor picture of this overlay. 

So hope you'll enjoy this new release and "blog" you soon! =)
