1988's MicroProse Soccer hits Steam

MicroProse™ Soccer

MicroProse™ Soccer is an accessible and engaging classic soccer game that lets you compete against a friend or CPU opponent at world class level in the World Cup, International Challenge, or in the indoor league.

1988's MicroProse Soccer is now on Steam.

MicroProse Soccer was developed by Sensible Software and is the forerunner to the UK studio's hugely influential 16-bit classic Sensible Soccer. The original version launched on the Commodore 64, but it was ported to a myriad of systems, including the Amiga, Amstrad, Atari ST, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum.

MicroProse Soccer was notable for simulating a full 11-a-side game of football with a top-down view, and included a simple control scheme that revolved around tapping or holding down the fire button for passes and shots. You could push diagonally to curl the ball - an after-touch feature that would go on to be used in Sensible Soccer.
