The first version of MicroProse Soccer was developed for Commodore 64 in 1988. Now you can play this fantastic C64 game online. MicroProse Soccer can simulate a full 11-a-side game of football on a grass pitch, or 6-a-side soccer, based on the American indoor league of the time. A single player can work through a World Cup (or Indoor League) tournament, or take on a series of increasingly tougher computer teams. A two-player friendly can be played head to head. The control method was designed to be as simple as possible, lending itself to fast and flowing football. A quick tap of the fire button passed forward, a longer hold of the button chipped the ball at height. Pushing backward and fire did an overhead kick. Pushing forward and fire took a shot. Most unusual was the “banana kick”, the strength of which could be varied among three settings in the options menu. By pushing diagonally as a shot was taken, the ball would swerve in the air to get around defenders and goalkeeper. Most versions featured a simulated “action replay” after a goal was scored, with the C64 version featuring black & white stripes to resemble a video rewinding.
