Although many here have fond memories of Swos, when it was first released on Amiga it was so bug ridden as to be almost unplayable. The system would crash when the goalkeeper saved the ball in a certain way, or sometimes immediately on scoring. If I remember correctly it was released in time for Christmas which is why so many bugs were allowed to be shipped.

This was before widespread internet or over the air updates, so the developers had to send out patch floppy disks to early buyers (of whom I was one) that made the game usable. I don't remember any other Amiga game that needed to be patched in this way.

After the fixes, it became one of my favourite ever games and I wasted far too much time honing my goal from halfway line skills, and building up title winning teams in management mode before the clubs went bankrupt.
