[Fasneocroth]

[makengo11]

[dragosv87]

Stupid real soccer.....the controls where terrible LMAO

[Funkdogg]

the best football game for genisis was fifa international soccer . and later came fifa '95. but the fifa branche is not so good anymore

[kettenfett]

the music is awesome. i remember waiting full 90 ingame minutes with my sister just to have a penalty shoot-out. yes kids in the dark ages of football games there was no option for that, you had to wait ;)

[f00tbol]

Football (Soccer) games dont depreciate as much as the other sports because they were not as many different versions, but some of them were terrible to play still nice to have :)

[duda90100]

why are all brazilians white?

[jacksprat1990]

@duda90100 All Brazilians aren't white.

[duda90100]

@jacksprat1990 in the game i mean... i love the brazilian team

[Bizarrix]

The names are fake in Italia 90,but in WCS they put real names,but outdated rosters,kinda Kempes in Argentina,in Italia 90 he was named "Kempano"a word game between Kempes and Valdano

I remember I scored a 34-0 using Argentina against China XD

[xDan92]

I love the sound when you score. "GOOOAAAAGGGHHH!!!"

Sounds more like the night after eating Indian food.

[thefadedline]

This game was known as World Cup Italia '90 in the UK. I loved it as a child.

[MinaseTakix]

I used to play this as a kid. It's a terrible game, but damned fun.

[MarcosGava100]

im sorry dude, but you damn rock!

[rolle16]

0:49 USSR? we're fucked o.O

[explainyouandme]

tfyi check out pele! that game was awful

[explainyouandme]

[kokeTD]

This game was super fun. I remember it was called Italia 90´

[sciprio1]

I love the sound of the ball.

[weirdude124]

what's the music in the beggining (great review though) P.S. AHH!!

[torca1950ancola]

USSR and Yugoslavia dont exist too....well now the dont just like Atlantis

[pablo4225]

Nothing in this game have it's real name. Check the football player names!!! I allways play with Argentina, and you can see "Madrona" instead of "Maradona" It's so funny. And the signs in the field... check the names!!! Gillett !!!! Bridgetonne!!!

I think that the budget for this game was very very low. If any...

[AntrAcsA]

Ahhh i Remember this game :P It's cool game and fun !!

[hongdekong]

in europe its called: world cup italia '90

[DilbertHernandez]

@hongdekong i guess i got that version in my "triple score" cartridge

[supahdupahguy81]

2:01

GAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

[12chapin]

I remember this game from the good all days. I wonder if this game is available in the Wii shop channel?? My friend always beat me at this game.

[MustNotRead]

@12chapin

just get a Genesis emulator and download the ROM for free. or better still, buy a real Gen, theyre dirt cheap.

[grinrause]

ATLANTIS 4 x 3 CAMELOT

Mark is always right!!!

[Amaranthus616]

i have the game, but its just called sega soccar....

[HenriqueCabeleira]

1:30 Actually, here in Portugal (and in Europe in general I Guess...) it was released as "World Cup Italia 90"... I remeber spending quite some time playing this back in the day... 1995, 7th grade lol

[tamerlane1984]

@HenriqueCabeleira

Yhea italia 90, i remember that, this is the pan european name for it, but i lost many hours on italia 90 too :)

[whitephoenix7186]

"Stupid real life soccer!" I feel your pain, dude. =)

[Ultraboy94fsr]

Yeah, real-life football controls do suck. And most of the gameplay involves being told to stand on the side and do nothing because you suck.

[boohowdy]

damn i played this game all the time back in the day

[ILikeGirlsWthBigEyes]

This game was later released as "World Cup Italia 90", the officially licenced game for the FIFA world cup.

[xBatmando]

that death yell used to scare me whenever i loaded this game.

[chinito77]

I always picked Argentina. I remember showing this to people and they said the guys look like birds, given the birds eye view the arrows do look like tails.

[kaab2006]

this game in 1990 world cup in italia

[phoenixflame44]

In England this games was called world cup Italia 90.

[Jashinthegiant]

@phoenixflame44 I guess it was called like that anywhere but in the US.

[vmcvkycb]

@phoenixflame44 There were 2 versions, there was world cup italia 90, and sega soccer (which I have only seen on later versions of the mega 6 carts)

[Rakiarmas]

Yyeeaargh!

I love that sream. :D

I remember playing this game in my youth. Had fun with it. I like simple sport games.

[n00berania]

"I found this game cartridge today for the wallet-crushing price of one dollar." LOL

[jensbuhler]

Wow, russia looks pretty good stats wise, how old is this? D:

[CHVlegend]

just bought my sega genesis again, now im looking for this game!!!!!!! anyone know where i can find this old sega game?

[jensbuhler]

@CHVlegend Online/2nd hand game store.

[useless1997]

Why they didn't call it Virtua Soccer?

[LeeJay800]

golden axe SFX

[markedone150]

ye i remember this game played it alot cos when i bought my sega i got 6 in 1 cartridge including this game in it.played it with my friend alot

[ikbenhetfeynoordmus7]

to bad there isnt a game about the europian championship '88 bcz that whas the time the netherlands winns . plss chek my movies

[BurntOutFurny]

first game I ever played on my Mega Drive!. This was called 'World Cup: Italia 90' over here in the Europe, I guess the World Cup wasn't that big in the US at the time.

[dmk1979]

I farted

[KhyberBoy09]

This is the stuff dreams are made of

[bobik624]

lol, i remember playing this game a little, and yes, always go with Brazil, lol

[hiphopfil]

if you wanna win games u just choose brazil...brazil rocks

[Thundaaaa]

This guy makes really awkward unfunny jokes.

"I chose USA because I can't be Atlantis..."

it's so bad it's almost sad

[groundnpound92]

and thats what makes it better than other reviews. feel the wrat of wind squid

[themanimal07]

omg i love this game. i need to buy a soccer game.

[L0rd0fD4rkness]

blanka is a bad ass brazilian

[Sisound]

I didn't knew you could lose to China.. Did this game get some DLC?

I kid Mark ;P

[Koldness99]

i remember playing this!!!

[atari2602]

Atlantis sucks!

[AlexSmashX2]

like your mom atari2602

[molinskypuc]

I'm looking the comments and... yes, it's funny how the games puts some "brazilians" with names like "Allejo", "Pancho" and so on. Why not Cavalcanti, Horta, Andrade and Drummond? XD

And music culture also are very different between regions. And I never saw Amazônia. Or Pantanal. Or even an indian! And...

And the only word I know of spanish is "Navidad" (Christmas). I actually though that was "novidade" (news)...

[dbctv]

Why people outside Brazil insist we love rumba-salsa-hispanic musics...???

And characters called Pancho, Maya, Blanka...

Nobody never noticed Brazil DOES NOT speak spanish and is not a hispanic country!

[Mapleholic]

You're telling me there's not a single soccer player in Brazil with the last name Pancho, Maya, Blanka? Bullshi. That's not HISPANIC musics you stupid ass it's Latin.

Mexico>Brazil get it through your head.

[dbctv]

No, because Brazil had portuguese colonization. No single spanyard made nothing in Brazil. We don`t speak spanish.

"Hispanic" refers to all those that came from Spaniard culture in Europe or in Latin America.

Brazil is a mostly portuguese and african-based culture.

So no Panchos, no Blankas... Maia maybe, but with "I" as the traditional portuguese family. A coincidence.

[Mapleholic]

No Blankas Panchos in ALL of Brazil? I fart in your cup of tea mister bn

[dbctv]

I can not be sure about this in a country with 200 million people, of course.

But, I'm sure there is no player with those names in the entire history of Brazilian National Soccer team or, at least, this is an very uncommon name in Brazil.

The spanish-language-countries' community of immigrants in Brazil is not too big.

[jensbuhler]

@dbctv What is a .....spanyard?

[dbctv]

@jensbuhler Those from Spain

[jensbuhler]

@dbctv Spanyard =/= Spaniard.

[RedSantiago27]

I notice dude, im from Argentina

[dbctv]

You guys from Argentina are smart =]

[Mapleholic]

Mexicans are smart too, but the government is a fuckin shitrobbinasshole Robberbaron

[m1lkasasstafidi]

atlantas :D:D:D

[Tryzon]

Look at the art on the cartridge: I swear that poor man has one leg and no arms, and is about to fly on his back into the cameraman. Such a horrible picture.

[pimodella]

I must have spent countless hours playing this as a kid (about 6yo). Being in England the game I played was World Cup Italia 90 aswell. It was class. Thanks for the memories!!!

[KieranD212]

you should try sensible soccer oh what a game that was

[MartinusPrime]

Heh. In Europe it was called "World Cup Italia 90" as a nod to the World Cup at the time. It was later renamed "Sega Soccer".

[DEFkon001]

I remember this.. I don't think it was a launch title, but it was one of the early games for the system. When you bought a 1st party SEGA game for the genesis (in the first few years it was out) the clamshell cases came with a fold out posters 18X24 and on the back of them they usually had screen shots of other titles - the early ones always showed this game.

[katakisLives]

I remember in game shops seeing hundreds of copies of unwanted old soccer games especially for some reason fifa 95, I once saw a shelf of almost nothing but fifa 95, they could'nt give it away

[leonci001]

"Stupid Real Life soccer, the controls were terrible "

[MrHargreaves]

This game was called Italia 90 in Europe.

[gjuny]

Oh I remember playing this when I was a kid and having championships with my neighbours... Such good times...

[burntyper]

the intro voice yells goal but its japanese, gooru.. well i think its pretty average quality for a 89 game haha

[Mapleholic]

nah its WAHHHH

lol

[dbctv]

It`s gahhhhhhhh or something like this...

[Mapleholic]

intros funniest thing ever

[reymysterioamerica]

u still have the sega

man i wish i could fined and buy those

becasue this sega is still kool

[Highretrogameblood89]

Try ebay or on a flea market. :D

I got my Mega Drive II last year on a retro event.

[fcmilsweeper9]

How bout fifa...jeez...I hate when people who know nothing about a sport review a game that is that sport.

[mitzibishi]

iss on the snes was the best 16bit football game

[Ryoga2K]

I have to agree with you, but ISS was released at the end of the life of 16 bit systems, anyway I regard it as the first soccer game that I could actually call decent, I remember playing it a lot with my friends although new systems came out almost immediately and everyone migrated to the new systems that finally had good football games.

[lovemesomehatememore]

do some classics like Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark for the 64, Mario Kart 64 or original for snes xD...

but damm you are funny to hear especially when you are tired like me xD... your humor is so dark xD...

[311fob]

Ugh, boring sports game.

[TailsSpain]

I played this game as "World Cup Italia 90" in Spain

[drunkensailor112]

yeah me too!!

[bradley14681]

the only way to play this game was john beck style long balls side to side

[chaosgreyblood]

Don't you mean the Raiders way? ('cause they favor the long ball, back when they were a good team)

Good game I could recommend is Tecmo World Cup. Pretty entretaining game, arcade game was good. You could look into it.

[TheTerminatorT101]

No N64 Game Reviews :( ....... Common Man!

[stormtrooper190]

hi did a review on golden eye 8 years ago

[Shoxy11]

Nah, that was Perfect Dark.

[ps123fan]

CGR has rewieved goldeneye for n64

[RiFFxxx]

Terrible game, even back in the day. It and super Monaco were the worst games on the Mega drive/ Genesis.

Get your Dollar back mate.

[ukmarkh]

It's basically a copy of Microprose Soccer on the C64...

[ZippoMontefiore]

This game was released as World Cup Italia 90 in Europe. Google it and you'll see for yourself.

Later it was released as Sega Soccer in one of those Mega Games packs that came with the older Mega Drives (or Genesis), I think in Mega Games 6.

[wookovar]

Remembering this and thinking about Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. That's progress for you.

[BoldNewTradition]

Oh, and thank God the U.S. sucks at Soccer., otherwise I would be embarrassed to be an American.

[BoldNewTradition]

The only reason I viewed this CGR video was because it was a "Genesis" video.

I fucken hate Soccer.

It's not a sport., it a reason to riot.

Thank God for the NFL.

[HappySack2]

lol "soccer" a.k.a. football is a decent sport unlike your American football which is basically just a bunch of steriod pumping retards who smash into each other and get concussions (which means brain damage in case you didn't know) and other crap like throwing a rubber thingamajig that isn't actually a ball.

btw I'm not really a fan of football a.k.a. soccer it's really boring on t.v. so only being at a live game is worth it, I've only been at 1 game so far though.

p.s. Hockey is #1

[BoldNewTradition]

You must be Canadian.., we own you LOSER!!!

[ShadowFlame74569]

shut up you ignorant piece of crap

[HappySack2]

Wow you figured out I'm Canadian! GOOD JOB!!! High five man!!! I'll buy you lots of hamburgers so there's more of you to love.

[Killerbee105]

footballs are leather, not rubber

[MechWarrior324]

They used to be made out of pig skin in the 1930's lol

[gnarly79]

While NFL is a good and there not much you CANT do in the tackles, it's still just a game for soft players. What's with all the padding?

Real footbal is either AFL or NRL. When there's no padding. lol

Thanks for more great reviews.

[mcdeejay1981]

And I'm sure the NFL was just an excuse for a bunch of steroid monkeys to grab each others asses.

See how easy it is to play that game.

Nice review BTW. I had no idea that Atlantis was part of Australia!

[KAMPACX264]

soccer aka football is a global sport and the most popular game in the world

[rabendranath]

this reminds me of mame32

[metalheadkid69]

I remember this game! i use to play it when i was like 5

[elitedarklord315]

why is atlantis in the pasific passific oh you know

[humbertx]

No, he does not know. I'll check ou Plato's writings again, but I'm sure he said Atlantis was somewhere in Atlantic.

[oejam]

world cup italia 90'

one of the best soccer games there were in 1989 ;)

[SpazSpazzAndSpazer]

this game i loved as a kid

[tottimanPS3]

i remembre playin dis lol :D gud old days :P

[humbertx]

Soccer sucks. Soccer is for fags.

[dennett316]

Yeah???

Well Pussy Rugby sucks too!! Pussy Rugby is American Football, you know, because of all the padding you sissy fuckers have to wear to keep from breaking a nail.

Also, stop calling it football...only one guy uses his fucking foot dipshits!! That's like calling real football handball because of the goal keeper. Idiots!

[thewizard112]

in uk this was called world cup italia 90 was`nt it or am i wrong?

[TeppichPilot]

Your are right!! it was called this way in germany too and was one of the titles which were in the bundle!

I loved this game! Played it so often against my brother, its uncountable...

Btw: If you wanna win a match, just choose the german (west german) team!! ;)

[hanzieWTF]

Atlantis wicked good at swimming.... ROLF

GREAT VID LIKE ALWAYS!!!!

[FZeroFan001]

DAAAAAAAA!

[StewPhoto]

The game was called World Cup Italia 90 over here in Britain.

I couldnt even score in this game, think Sensible Soccer was the best on the Megadrive.

[paintballron]

holy shit i remember playing this game when i was like 5

[MAT0R0]

the soccer ball kicking sound, sounds like kicking a boiled egg. 0_o

[ya64]

i remember playing this at a friend's house a long time ago. I like the sound the ball makes when they're dribling!

[scottishconnor14]

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg i used to play this alot

[coryphoenix808]

That noise at 0:06/0:07 always reminds me of a Wookie yell or something.

[WigglyMalmsteam]

The only football games I ever likes were Fifa 94/95 and Dead Ball Zone (if that counts).

[djsylvia]

lol "Stupid real life soccer, the controls were terrible." Too funny.

[theGFrom]

in sweden it's also called World Championship Soccer '90. the title screen is different als well, and the music is slower.

[HelloMarco]

Yes, called World Cup Italia 90' here in the UK too.  Excellent game.

[iamVERYrandom]

*sigh*

You probably know what's coming...

HALF-LIFE! XD

I can't be bothered typing the huge amount of reasons you should pick up this game again, but I'm still not going to stop. =]

[DocHackenbush]

Real-life soccer:

The controls might be terrible but the graphics are nice.

[theamazingbear]

aye but soon the graphics in video games will be better than real life so watch out for that =o

[ItalyFace00]

ahaha

[lDanteBMl]

This is called World Cup Italia 90, reffering to the world cup of 1990, that took place in...yes...Italy :)

Gotta love how all the tackles are just slidding, ouch!.

And no yellow or red cards ahah.

This game rules, it's so simple yet interesting.

The music, as most of the mega drive games, is pretty neat.

[scenic456]

I loved Italia 90, you were always guaranteed a goal if you got to the edge of the box and angled your shot lol!!!

[ctannight]

lol its not my fault its his fault xD

[wolvris]

LOL!!! Stupid real life soccer.... rofl... the controls were terrible! Hahahaha, I love it!

[8BitROB]

looks cool... for a sports game.

[Ultimateunnamed]

In Germany the same Game is called "World Cup Italia 90" the opening screen is a little different than in this version. Gameplay, teams and sound are the same. So the Mega Drive Version how the Genesis is called here has aktually a title on it.

You can easyly find it today on Megagames 1.

So I got my version with Streets of Rage,

Revenge of shinobi, Collums

Super Handon and Golden Axe on one cardride.

[jtspgs1986]

okay, who wants to buy an island, brake off from the US and make our own nation. Behold We The People Of Atlantis Hereby Declare Today, Atart 2600 Day!!! now if we only had an island for sale and about 26 billion dollars.

[georgewilliamgill]

[avonkid64]

[CenturyGamer]

I have European Club Soccer, not sure its the same game but it looks pretty similar :P

[DamianRproductions]

I got a question why an HD resolution in video from 320p game?

[rasiakwood]

[martinpotts]

Haha, its ITALIA 90... old times ;)

[DamianRproductions]

[stormtrooper190]

[RedSuperSonicNinja0]
