The action is played as a quick clip, and it doesn’t seem possible to commit a foul, no matter how viciously you tackle an opposing player. You can amend which buttons do what, but the default settings see the A and C Buttons used as pass and the B Button used as shoot when you are attacking, whilst A and C operate as tackle and B acts as switch player when you are trying to defend.

The arcade roots of Tecmo World Cup ’92 are markedly clear in the gameplay, with a two-button control scheme when you are both defending and on the attack. Tecmo World Cup ’92 focused a lot more on the arcade side of things rather than simulation, with it trying to be faithful to the arcade original. The SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis has its fair share of decent Football-Em-Ups, with the FIFA series and a port of ISS Deluxe being the main highlights. The game received slightly above average scores, for the most part, with a lot of 6 out of 10s from a variety of different outlets. Tecmo World Cup ’92 is actually a port of an arcade game from 1990, back when the world was gripped with Soccer Fever during the dramatic World Cup held in Italy. This led me to discovering Tecmo World Cup ’92 for the SEGA Mega Drive, and I decided to stick with it so that I could write about it this week. The tournament itself got me energised to play some football games, leading to me heading back to the fourth gen in order to play some games I hadn’t previous played before. England actually had a pretty decent tournament this summer, reaching the Final of Euro 2020 before suffering a narrow defeat to Italy on penalties.
