Tournament

Two players can participate in a International Tournament against the following sides:

England
France
Italy
Germany
Scotland
Brazil
Wales
Holland

Moving the box to Player One allows them to choose the team they wish to represent. This process is then repeated for Player Two. The teams are highlighted to indicate icon position, and pressing Fire selects the player's side.

Moving the box to KICK OFF begins the Tournament.

Clicking on Exit returns the player to the Main Selection Screen.

Gameplay

Each side consists of a goalkeeper and four field players. The ball can bounce off all four walls of the pitch, but cannot be kicked over head height. Field players are not allowed inside the opposing team's goalkeeper's box. In 5-a-side football there are no off-sides.

The player with the flashing team strip is currently under Joystick control. Pressing Fire when not in possession of the ball allows the player nearest to the ball to be selected.

When the player has control of the ball, pressing FIRE will kick the ball in the direction that the Joystick is pointing. The longer the Fire button is held down before release, the harder the shot will be. As soon as the shot power reaches full velocity, the ball is automatically kicked in the direction of the Joystick.
