Play Goal! 2 Online

Goal! 2 came out for the NES in 1992, developed and published by Jaleco. It was one of the later soccer games on the system, arriving at a time when many players were already looking toward the 16-bit generation. The game offered a straightforward take on the sport, focusing on quick matches rather than deep management or elaborate career modes.

You control a team of small, uniformed players from a top-down perspective, chasing a ball that often moves faster than your athletes. The main objective is to score more goals than the opposing team within the time limit. Signature mechanics include a dedicated sliding tackle button, which sometimes sends your player comically skidding past the action, and the ability to attempt bicycle kicks and volleys that feel both improbable and satisfying when they connect. Matches are fast and chaotic, with a difficulty that spikes noticeably against stronger computer teams. It feels like managing organized chaos, where a single lucky shot can completely shift the momentum of a game.
