Some of the crowd are on the pitch!

ISS Pro '99

Over on the PlayStation ISS Pro: Evolution is causing a real stir, but Konami hasn't relegated Game Boy Color footie fanatics to the sidelines - not by a long shot! With over thirty international teams to choose from, each in their unique its, ISS Pro '99 has converted reasonably well.

The screen gets quite busy with players dashing around, so slowdown can hamper the graphics-hungry sideways perspective, but it works well, particularly if you can hook up to a friend's Game Boy Color for two-player antics! There's so much stuffed into ISS Pro '99, you will still be playing it at Christmas, particularly with the range of moves on offer.

Players can opt for an Exhibition match or go for the full-blown International Cup, too. Let's be honest, it's a tough game to convert, but this is OK!
