Release Information and Installation Instructions

Viva Football set to take the Football Crown. Viva Football is a new type
of soccer simulation that flawlessly recreates all the passion, excitement
and unpredictability of the real thing.

The game employs a unique control system that gives players complete
control. Shots, passes and crosses can be hit exactly as the player
wishes; devastating through-balls are knocked with breathtaking
accuracy; nifty one-twos, feints and dummies out-fox your opponent.
Viva Football is flexible enough to offer experienced players pin-point
accuracy whilst ensuring first-timers can pick up and play without
frustration.

Viva Football uses polished, extremely hi-resolution 3D, combining speed
with visuals uncannily close to the real thing. Instead of using one
footballer, providing limited motion-capture data, Virgin Interactive
has enlisted a professional team to motion-capture over 5,400 keyframes
of the most fluid characters animation ever seen. By using players from
attack, midfield and defence, Viva’s moves are much more realistic than
any other football game.

Viva Football offers a unique long-term challenge: compete as any
international team from 1958 to 1998, replay famous matches and rewrite
football history,   wronging the rights of the past. Every squad has
been faithfully recreated to ensure an unprecedented amount of
realism-from Brazil 1998 right down to the 1970 Netherlands Antilles
team (who we all remember fondly, Merljin). [Note from Blitz - we do?]

Pick from any of the 1035 teams with 2,070 authentic kits, 16,700 players
and 267,200 player attributes. Play in over 300 lavishly recreated
stadiums generated from technical data to ensure complete accuracy,
ranging from Wembley Stadium to The Sir Anerood Ruganth Stadium in
Pamplemousses, Mauritius. And create fantasy matches to settle that old
football question: Who's best, the 1966 or 1998 England team?

Tis the Season for soccer it seems, and following yesterday's big hit by
CLS with Championship Manager 3, ORIGIN comes back with our own title. The
movies were the only thing ripped, someone might do an addon.

Unace the archives, or use our installer. Run the regsetup.exe to set up
the registry, and then overwrite vivafoot in the /bin/ directory with the
exe in the crack.zip When you run the game for the first time it should
find your GFX cards and modes, as well as adjusting the texture format.
Also make sure that you set up your keyboard config in the game options
before you play.

Personal greets to Garoto of Devotion, thanks for your help.
