Peter Shilton's Handball Maradona (referred to in-title as Peter Shilton's Football) is a multiplatform traditional soccer/football simulation video game that was released in 1986 for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The game allows players to control legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton. The game's title refers to the miraculous play at the 1986 FIFA World Cup by Diego Maradona.
Gameplay
During the course of the game, the player has to play against the 16 top-flight English football teams of 1986 (with the player being allowed to choose from the same list of 16 teams) while trying to improve the skill of his players through saving potential goals. Each match consists of a series of friendly games. The game can support the full names of football squads like the Wolverhampton Wanderers and the West Bromwich Albion.
Games are permitted to end in ties because of this rule. Like in real football, the game is divided into two halves where the player gets to make about three to four saves per half. The Commodore 64 version has some extra sound effects and some limited digitized speech.
