History of Soccer Gaming

09/13/06

What's this then? The History of Soccer Gaming is my ambitious (some would say crazy) pet project to attempt to 'review' some of the most influential (and not-so-influential) soccer videogames from the past 20-25 years. Thanks to the wonders of emulation I'll be reviewing games from the N64, PSOne, SNES, Genesis/Megadrive, NES, Mastersystem, Collecovision, PC, Atari 2600, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, the Commodore 64, Neo-Geo and as many soccer games that came out in the arcades that I can get my grubby mits on!

Think I'm crazy? You're probably right, but that won't stop me from trying to get my soccer gaming fix from across the ages - keep it locked here for some retro football gaming action!

	"Goal! Goal! Goal!" (Neo-Geo) Review - Not the king of Neo-Geo soccer but still a lot of fun.
	"Kick Off 2" (Amiga) Review - A review of one of the most influential soccer games ever.
	"Sensible World of Soccer" (Amiga) Review - Brilliant arcade gameplay with a staggering number of teams and leagues
	"Goal!" (NES) Review - One of the better NES soccer titles, by no means revolutionary, but still quite playable by today's standards.
	"Goal! Two" (NES) Review - The NES sequel to the classic 8-bit console football title turns out to be a dud.
	"Ice Hockey" (NES) Review - Not a soccer game, but one of the finest hockey games ever.
	"Neo Geo Cup '98" (Neo-Geo) Review - Arguably the finest coin-op football title ever.
	"Super Goal!" (SNES) Review - Jaleco's soccer series makes it's first appearance on 16-bit hardware
	"Super Soccer" (SNES) Review - One of the SNES' launch titles doesn't age gracefully.
	"ISS Pro Evolution" (PSX) Review - Arguably one of the most important soccer games ever.
	"FIFA: Road to the World Cup 98" (PSX) Review - My favourite FIFA game of all time.
	Capcom's Soccer Shootout (SNES) Review - A cult SNES hit.
	ISS Deluxe Review (SNES) - Konami's masterpiece was perhaps the first truly great console soccer game!
	FIFA International Soccer Review (SNES) - The first game in the now massive FIFA series.
