This World Cup takes place on a three-screen-wide scrolling pitch where two teams of six players kick it out. The pitch scrolls horizontally with two defenders, one midfielder, two attackers and a goalkeeper on either side, keeping to their respective zones.

You can play against another player or the computer, and can choose one of ten teams. You can also have a tournament where eight players can take part. You control the player on your side who is nearest the ball (his shorts change colour). If the other side have the ball, you can dispossess them by running into them.

To shoot you just press fire while moving goalward. If your own goal is threatened, you can make the keeper dive by pressing fire. The game clock runs down from 90 and you change ends at 45.

P. Exciting two-player action plus a good computer opponent.
P. Thrilling to score a goal and win matches.

N. Player animation and overlapping is bad.
N. Scrolling is rather jerky.
