FIFA International Soccer Game

Step onto the pixelated pitch with FIFA International Soccer, the game that kicked off EA’s legendary football franchise on the SEGA Genesis! This 1993 classic wasn’t just another sports title—it was a revolution, bringing real FIFA licensing, smooth isometric gameplay, and that addictive "kick-off-to-goal" rush to consoles for the first time. Sure, the graphics might look retro now, but back then, the fluid animations and surprisingly deep mechanics (like tactical substitutions and that iconic overhead camera) made it feel like the future.

What really set it apart? The energy. From the crowd chants to the satisfying thud of a well-placed shot, FIFA International Soccer captured the drama of the beautiful game—even if your striker sometimes ran like he was stuck in mud. Nostalgic fans still love its quirks, like the hilariously exaggerated slide tackles or the fact that you could blast a penalty straight through the net. It’s a time capsule of 90s gaming joy, and the foundation for every FIFA that followed. Game on!
