Who made Sensible Soccer and SWOS?
Sensible Software, a small company owned by Jon Hare. They have also made other hits such as Cannon Fodder 1 and 2, Megalomania and Wizkid. In 1998 they laid off all of their staff due to financial difficulties experienced due to the low sales of Sensible Soccer 98 and the failure of an expensive project, ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll’ which all major publishers failed to show interest in due to its risque content. What will happen of Sensi now no-one is sure, but Jon Hare hopes to be back producing games soon, and fans will await SWOS 2000, the management version of SS98, which it is rumoured they were working on at the time of the lay off.
