F. Cool (allyuh gaming jumbies)

[E-man]

So here this April joke

I got an e-mail question on the history website from somebody in France this morning asking:

"I have an old video game FIFA: Road to World Cup 98. In this video game the
goalkeeper of trinidad and tobago is F. Cool. Have you got information
about this player : club career, international career with T&T.
yours sincerely"


Anyone here had that game? Are any of the T&T players in that game legit?

I trying to remember doh...from wha i remember FIFA 98 :RTWC 98 had real player names.
De detail it had for Trinidad and Tobago was kinda impressive.
De stadium was fairly good....even had the old abandoned oil tanker in the background.
Had players name and ting.
De intro before going to the game screen had some shots of carnival and holiday inn by wrightson road.

I wonder if i could find a old copy dat working and see.

Buh yeh.....Cool fake.

  I have this same game for Nintendo 64, it was a great game back in the day.  I believe they made up some names.  I remember there was a really good player for the Bahamas named "P. Lee."  I don't think he actually exists though.  I will post some screenshots.

EDIT: I am looking back and they have many names right, even for many Caribbean countries which is usually rare.

Cool was an anomaly. All the other players were real down to Shurlan David and Dwarika. The commentator used to say Dwareeeka.lol And pronounced Roughier like Riffier

That is my favourite game ever.

[theworm2345]

I remember my brother and I would edit some players we didn't know and put ourselves in the team.



 

[dinho]

oh so all the names were legit? Well then its pretty obvious...




F.COOL = TROY MARQUIS

Yeh I always wondered how they come up with our goalie's name.

[Blue]

I remember looking up F Cool at the time....there was a French goalie named Fabien Cool who I think it was meant to be...no idea why he was made an honourary Trini though.

Ah man who kno he scenes boy!!!!

[daryn]

was this the FIFA that had the "chambawamba song" as the game music..

it had a special World Cup version of the game that Tubthumping was the song for.  I think it was just the 32 teams that qualified for the cup in that one.

edit: it had 8 additional teams that didn't qualify.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Cup_98_(video_game)

[theworm2345]

I started playing it and its all coming back to me...I remember all the commentary, double tap B for a chip (or for a bicycle attempt on a cross), one of the C buttons to do the little hop (it works well if you're in 1 on 1 with the keeper), slide tackles always work (you can even slide tackle the goalie's punts and sometimes win them).  Took me awhile to remember how to score but now I'm back to my old ways.
