Futebol
This game is a modified version of Ultimate League Soccer; instead of national
teams, the game features teams from the Brazilian football league (with
different characteristics than the original teams).
One of two players can play a single match between any of the 8 teams
available, or one player can play either one of the two championships
available.
The “World Cup” championship let the player choose one of 8 Brazilian teams:
Internacional, Flamengo, Sao Paulo, Vasco, Corinthians, Palmeiras, Fluminense
or Santos. The “Olympic” championship available restricts the choice to the 4
first teams: Internacional, Flamengo, Sao Paulo and Vasco. Each team has its
own characteristics, varying in offensive, defense, speed, skill, accuracy and
experience traits.
After selecting the team, players are prompted to choose the color of their
team’s uniform, among white, green, gray and red. They are also prompted to
choose the duration of the periods (15, 30 or 45 minutes – which run faster
than real time). They are also prompted to choose team formation: 4-3-3, 4-2-4
or 4-4-2.
The game is played from a side-scrolling perspective. While conducting the
ball layers can make short passes (with button B) or strong kicks (with button
A, stronger the longer the button is held). Without the ball’s possession,
players can try to steal the ball (with button A) or skip to the next player
(with button B). The goalkeeper control is manual, and players can make the
goalkeeper jump (by pressing button A). Tied matches are decided on a penalty
kick contest.
Players can also watch single computer vs. computer matches.
