Game Overview

Soccer Boy (Japan) is one of those Game Boy games that somehow makes a tiny black-and-white soccer match feel intense. The controls are stupidly simple—just pass, shoot, and sprint—but the way the ball bounces off defenders or skids across the grass gives it this weirdly satisfying weight. I wasn’t expecting much at first, but then I accidentally chipped the keeper from midfield and immediately got hooked.

It’s got that old-school arcade vibe where matches fly by in minutes, and the AI isn’t afraid to absolutely humiliate you if you get careless. The pixel art’s charmingly janky, with little dudes who somehow convey "desperate panic" when you’re on a breakaway. Perfect for bus rides or pretending to listen in meetings.

If you’ve ever lost hours to Tecmo Bowl or just like games that don’t overcomplicate things, this one’s a blast. Just don’t blame me when you start aggressively side-eyeing modern soccer sims.
