3D World Soccer

_3D World Soccer_ is a football game with national teams, featuring digitized
sprites on a three-dimensional pitch. Unlike Simulmondo’s earlier _I Play: 3-D
Soccer_ , the player controls any member of the team, except for the
goalkeeper. The camera is loosely centered on the ball, slightly zooming in or
out depending on the length of its trajectory. Control is partly direct,
partly tactical: in general, the player can freely move the team member under
control until the fire button is pressed, whereupon an icon above his head
indicates what type action he will perform, such as a pass, shot to goal or
tackle. That action is generally automatic: for example, if a tackle is
selected, the team member will try to follow the opponent with the ball and
attempt a slide tackle when close enough.

The game is single-player only. At half time, the viewpoint changes so that
the player always faces the other team’s goal. The available game modes are
single match, knockout tournament and championship. The game can be saved to
disk during tournaments.
