Synopsis
Fun feature for Arena that I wrote in my compulsive ‘Grand Theft Auto’ gamer days. The subject of the piece was a video game called 'Hooligans: Storm Over Europe.' As I wrote: 'Hooligans marks the debut of the 'riot game'. Unfortunately, the Dutch game-makers chose riots involving not cavemen or alien sex slaves but football hooligans, making the title a ripe target for everyone from politicians to tabloid editorial writers.' When it was released, controversy erupted, but sales did not. I had a lot of fun playing the demos though...
