Throw in
Throw In is a tribute to the best game ever, Kick Off 2. It is during development by Gianluca Troiano, the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Kick Off 2 World Champion. Throw in and its goal is to reproduce the classic gameplay of Kick Off 2. Just as in Kick Off 2 you can do anything on the pitch with just a single fire button. A second button can be enabled though. Betaversions are available for download. Gianluca will happily accept any comments and help for his game. If you are willing to help, you can visit the [Kick Off Gathering Forums] and go to the Throw In section.
