there is no goalkeeper. this game has a wraparound effect.. if a player gets past you, what you can do is run the other way and your player will wraparound and appear on the other side of the screen and in front of the ball handler.
Have you watched any of the other dozens of Atari reviews he's done? The fact that the screen moves around means this is actually a fairly eventful game.
in response to something that was said at 4:00 , I actually have this game but the cart says "FOOTBALL" in big print, and then "realsports soccer" next to it in small print. Quite odd its labeled football even though I am American.
I hope all videos revert to the normal layout once April Fools in the US is over, this was fun at first, but now it's just annoying me, and getting on my nerves big time. I don't like holding my monitor upside down!!!!!
The crowd sounds like an explosion. I wonder if you are actually playing soccer in the middle of a post-apocalyptic battlefield in the future, where wars are fought with games of soccer, and each goal allows the side that scored to drop a bomb.
I'm not a sports fan, but this is an example of what's great about CGR - it gives you what other reviewers don't. An obsolete sports game (the genre which goes down in price and relevance the quickest) on an ancient platform, and yet Mark still manages to give constructive and analytical commentary. Kudos.
World Cup has Technos characters kicking each other in the......walnuts...... NES Soccer has a guy trying to kick another guy in the.......chestnuts......... on the cover.
I prefer championship soccer too, actually its the only video game ever i played together with my dad, beside the 5 billion multiplayer online gamin hours. remembering championship soccer, one of these fanatic, most talented japanese game programmers made PES aka Winning eleven, which is probably the best video game soccer series made today. and you spared it.
Excellent review! Nice theme. I noticed the blueberries did better when the song was played. I thought I saw one of them break dancing there at the end :) Nice Job!!
totally. Graphics dont make a game! We need more 64 or less bits in our gaming systems. "Do the math!" I have a 360 but i dont play with it 'cause im totally obsessed with my 16-bit consoles. Im getting a magnavox odyssey 2 and commodore 64. :D BRING BACK THE RETRO-GAMING!
pele's soccer was better
