Dave's Cocktail sadly doesn't have a link this week.

You may not know of Football Champ (AKA Hat Trick Hero) but rest assured we spend plenty of time talking about FIFA, ISS, Sensible Soccer, and just about every other football game of the previous century - and a couple from this - before eventually choosing two drinks to accompany Taito's bonkers arcade soccer game.
