Football Champ

released on Dec 31, 1990

This conversion of a Taito arcade game was released to coincide with the 1992 European Championships. The game scrolls horizontally at a slight angle, and recreates the coin-op's close-up zoom effect after a player scores. Only a small area of the pitch is on screen at a time, but there is a scanner to show the whole pitch. Although the game has a referee, he often loses attention, and these moments give you a chance to foul, punch or side-swipe opposition players. One and two player options are included.

[Taito Legends 2]
Nostalgic arcade football game from my youth. I played the Euro version which I believe is from 1992. I tried and tried but I couldn’t beat Italy (as England).
