    a horrible vision just flashed before me..

    Adidas Power Soccer...

    Truly terrible and shameless game, couldn't believe I was playing an adidas ad. Convinced me that I didn't want predator boots.

    im surprised no one has mentioned striker on the snes, was a great game with indoor matches and all. me and my mates spent hours playing it. also goal on the nes, but id imagine that has aged terribly. actua soccer wasnt bad, not great though. fifa international soccer, fifa 95 and iss were the kings though

    It is the little things that make a great football game, such as the ability to knee somebody in the face.

    Football champ, I salute you.

    I had to dig this one out... eventually found it!

    Sensible Soccer 92-93 Meets Bulldog Blighty... playing as soldiers with a hand-grenade, which randomly explodes. Priceless!

    Emlyn Hughes International Soccer on c64.

    You could edit the data by hand and save it to tape. I had dozens of leagues set up and spent thousands of hours playing it.
