Overview
World Cup 90 is a soccer game developed and published by Genias in 1990, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup held in Italy. The game includes all national teams from the tournament, though player names are fictional due to licensing restrictions. Players can create custom teams, adjust tactics, change jersey colors, and modify rosters, offering a personalized gaming experience.
Gameplay
The game uses a top-down perspective where players control their team to dribble, pass, and shoot toward the opponent's goal. It supports multiplayer modes, including 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. CPU, and additional setups allowing up to four players. While simple compared to modern soccer games, it includes features like corner kicks, goal kicks, and penalty shootouts in case of ties during championship mode. The game does not simulate fouls, substitutions, or advanced strategies, focusing on fast-paced arcade-style soccer.
