Dino Dini, managing director of Abundant Software Limited, based in Bristol, England, as set up a site to attract fans of his classic football games Kick Off, Kick Off 2, Player Manager, GOAL! and Dino Dini’s Soccer. Included is a petition where fans can request a new football game from Dino.
Abundant Software is currently seeking funding to create a new game, and Dino hopes that building a community around his original games will help demonstrate the potetnial to investors and publishers.
As part of the site, Abundant have created an innovative World Cup Trading Game, where participants can buy and sell shares in any of the 32 qualifying world cup teams, and attempt to come out on top.
World Cup Trading Game
- http://www.abundantsoft.com/wcup/
The idea is to buy and trade shares in any of the world cup teams, and the one who makes the most money at the end of the world cup competition will be the winner. This will be going through a very short test phase to allow people to learn what the game is about. The game will then be reset and will start properly before the first world cup match.
