Kenny Dalglish Soccer Match is a very sad simulacrum of a soccer game.

Unused Text

Starting from 0x1549 of the second freeload data segment (equivalent to KCODE98 in the prototype release) is placeholder text for the league table displayed when there's more than two players in the current game. It is incomplete; the data cuts off before Player 4's team name and stats are listed.

Text Oddity

While each of Kenny's comments are always displayed in uppercase letters, the actual strings, found in the first freeload data segment (equivalent to KDATA19 in the prototype release), have proper casing, as noted below:
