Description from the packaging.

Over 200 game variations on this cartridge: 1 to 4 players.

The most exciting computerised soccer game ever!

Starting from a kickoff, you receive the ball and move it down into your opponent's half. Possession and ball-control are both required in this test of skill. Reach the penalty area, prepare to shoot... oh no!, a defender is blocking you. Pass quickly to a team mate. Dribble towards the goal, avoid the last defender and shoot. The goalkeeper moves across but he can't reach your powerful shot. It's a Goal!

The screen features a rolling display of a football field, including goals, line-markings and a clock to keep the time. Over this the 22 players tackle, pass and shoot. Truly a cup-winner!

This fully animated game contains the following options - 1) Multi-skill levels, 2) Play against a friend, 3) Play against the computer, 4) Team up with your friend and challenge the computer.

  • Game variations: Over 200
