World Cup Italia '90 on SEGA Master System
It's got 8 players on each team instead of 11, the only reliable way to score is to do a sideways pass as the keeper comes out of his goal so you can go and shoot into an open net, which makes goals in this look the same, the graphics and sounds are nothing special, passing's often intercepted and a long pass always go a bit to the side instead of in a straight line regardless of how you aim it, it sucks to shoot as the keeper always saves it if its not with the method I mentioned earlier, and the defending side of things also isn't very good as most of your tackles miss the ball completely...
I still adore it though, when I get a string of good passes going the feeling is quite nice, and it's so fun to dribble past opponents from the back, as you slowly make your way up, or just surprise them with a quick counter attack to score, I even beat this with the weakest team in the lineup, China, and teams feel so different and unique, I really struggled, but it felt satisfying to make it.

I adore World Cup Italia '90 on Master System, I know it's only got 8 players on each side and its only got a single way to score reliably, when you pass to the side when the GK comes out to shoot into an open goal... but actually playing it is fun! It's great how you can play both possession and counter attacking, though I find the latter to be more effective overall, build up is still superb.
