Play Tecmo World Cup ’92 Online

Tecmo World Cup '92 came out on the Sega Genesis in 1992, developed and published by Tecmo. It was one of many sports titles on the platform, offering a straightforward take on international soccer without the licensing or complexity of some other games from that period.

You control a team of eleven players, moving them down the field to score goals against the opposing side. The main objective is to win the World Cup tournament. Signature mechanics include a powerful sliding tackle that often sends opponents flying and a super shot ability that charges up for a nearly unstoppable strike if you can get the space to use it. The pacing is fast, almost frantic, and the computer can be brutally efficient on higher difficulties, intercepting passes and capitalizing on any mistake. It feels like a chaotic, sometimes unfair, but always energetic arcade interpretation of the sport.
