1988's MicroProse Soccer hits Steam
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.
