Microprose Soccer - C64 Longplay / Walkthrough
Ойындар
One of my favorite soccer games on the Commodore 64 along with Emlyn Hughes International Soccer.
Published by Microprose and developed for the C64 by Sensible software. (the same house that made sensible soccer) it feature weather effects, replays and "banana kicks".
I used to play this game a lot with my friends when i was kid, destroying few joysticks in the process.
It's quite hard to play it without a joystick...but don't worry, no keyboards were hurt during the record of this video.

I used to love this game, my tactic was to attack diagonally, the keeper couldn’t handle it haha

Amazing! So many memories. When I became good at this videogame the obvious choice was to pick Oman to win the World Cup. And damn, Brazil was so hard to be defeated
Only few people know that you can make a curveballs here. I remember scoring few against Brazil from almost 40m. I had real love&hate relationship with this game. And this game owes me few joysticks still ;)
Oh my god! Loved that game in my youth. One of the best soccer games ever.

Oman is the world champion!
It was awesome in multiplayer! 🤩
Awesome game! played it with friends back in the early 90's . 4-8 guys playing tournaments against each other. waiting for turns :)good days!
One of the favorite soccer games. I still love it.
Great classic old footy !! I only completed it ONCE, with the Argentina team. I remember it was Holy Thursday :)
Si habré pasado horas con este juego! Me gustaba llegar al lateral casi al corner, y enviar la pelota con efecto al área chica, el arquero no llegaba y entraba al 2do palo.
Holy f*ck this takes me back. That music! Those sliding tackles! Oman!
"In 1988, we made a C64 football game heavily inspired by the two-player trackball arcade machine Tehkan World Cup. We wanted to call the game Sensible Soccer, but our publishers MicroProse wanted to call it MicroProse Soccer. The company offered us a big advance, and we agreed to change the name. On its release, MicroProse Soccer was hailed by C&VG as the best sports game on any format ever. Its genre-defining features for the time included banana shots, rain, rewinding action replays, and overlaid player sprites with a sharp outline defined around the players in their team colours." -- Jon Hare, co-designer and graphic artist
It was best C64 soccer. And those replays with rewind, changing weather and great music : )
Great Game................I love it.....................classic
My favourite game as a child. Loved it
I had this game in the USA, but it was known as Keith Van Eron's Pro Soccer. Van Eron was the long time goalie for the Baltimore Blast indoor soccer team, and the owner of MicroProse later was the owner of the Blast (named Spirit) at the time. Also the game in the US had an indoor mode, with the teams being cities in the USA.

Best 8-bit soccer game. Sensible Software and we are home
Thanks for uploading. Me and my brother have so many awesome memories with this game.
In 2015, the English magazine Four-Four-Two chose this game as one of the 23 best football games of all time ...
The intro music is my ringtone :) i played this game so much back in the days!
I used to play too much time on this game in the 80's

Gotta score from the angle ,great game
That extra time winner over Mexico in the Round of 16 was suh-weet!
Best commadore football game by far, I played that so many times countless times
Wow, incredible sound design for those times!
I spent a lot of time with this game. Same fun I had later with Sensible Soccer on my Amiga. BTW World Champion "Oman" LOL
Ah man, I played this often... good memories
nice video man.i loved this game
I bet you were well chuffed when the second goal went in against Brazil. Excellent play!
Hilarious when it started raining and the law of inertia was suspended, causing a sliding tackle to become an infinite slide off the pitch and into doom.
I have played this game here, in Argentina with my old commodore 128.
best sports game for c64
In fatto di giocabilità, il più bel gioco di calcio mai creato. Una volta che imparavi a controllare a dovere il "banana effect" mandavi la palla esattamente dove volevi tu e potevi vincere il mondiale usando la squadra più debole (l'Oman, se ricordo bene). Da notare che ai tempi il vincitore di una partita prendeva solo due punti, non tre (regola introdotta nel 1991, se ricordo bene).
So much luck with the Teams. Mexico, Denmark and Hungary. But RESPECT for the game against Brazil !! I´m a fan of this game till today. I play this on emulator sometimes.
Yo lo tenia a este juego. Gracias a una publicación en Facebook encontré el nombre. Buenísimo
oh we played it all the time with buddies, good old days xDD
Loved it!
Thank you for uploading this video. It reminded a lot of my childhood. By far the best soccer video game! It was so funny doing the banana kicks and playing under rain hehehe!
I loved this game too. I could (and still can) beat every team.
Some nice skills there! The third goal against Scotland was a beauty. After watching this, I thought to myself: Now I have to try out Oman as well. Guess what?! I came up against Brazil in the final and beaten them 3:1. ;) I think the International Challenge is harder to win, than the WC. I've managed to beat Brazil there, only once. Although it was 6:3 in the end after a 4:0 first half. Amazing game. Incredible to think, that it was almost 30 years ago, I've first played this.
awesome, I loved this game.
Every day I came home from school, this was the game I played
Great game great memories. I Was so good playing it and doing the banana shots and overhead kick
jajaja so many memories!!! thanks dude!
Banana Kicks....those were the days. Then came Kick Off on the Amiga and then FIFA.
Beste Fußballspiel auf den c64
Yeah, I loved this game too as well as Six Soccer.Great times!!!!!
It seems like yesterday... really legendary game! One of my favourite PC game ever. When the wins were worth two points, when there was USSR and West Germany, when the goalkeeper could block the back pass by hands.

Well played, and it seems that Oman and Cameroon were the most popular teams to pick. 😉
Sooooo much time wasted, ahem, spent playing this excellent game!!! Those were the days :-)
Nächtelang hab ich das damals gespielt
Use to play with my Cousin 4 ages
Incredible game at the time. Hsed to hammer this.
Of some odd reason I always thought I played SENSIBLE WORLD OF SOCCER on commodore 64 as a kid. But every time I've seen youtube videos it looks not very familiar. I know why now :D Its F***ing MicroPose Soccer !! And I found out in a 7 year old video !! I remember you could make these insane looong sliding tackles in thunder weather
La de palancas de joystick que rompí....juegazooo
I played this game in 1991-95. Loved it. How can I get compdor games
I loved this game so much, though often the tape wouldn't load. I used to get so mad.

there was a lot of crowd trouble at the Oman v Holland match but the broadcaster didn't show it as per usual
The best football game on C64
Banana shot!
This was the best EVER soccer game ....before Sensible Soccer came out for my Amiga back in 1993 or was it 92 ? ps Oman ...does that country still exist ? wtf
Questo è il padre nobile di FIFA , PES e di tutti i giochi di calcio
I have seen that people arrange World cup in Kick off 2 and Sensible world of soccer on the amiga yearly. How is it for this game any world cup with die hard fans that travel the world? (I missed the world cup in kick off 2 with 2 weeks a couple of years ago it was in Ireland. Had I seen it before I booked I would have gone weeks later to see how good my skills were even if I have not played for 15 years)

It is literally impossible to win the tournament without using the corner kick cheat.

World Champions: Oman😃
The player I would not say, You have the best strategy and capability ever!. Because: First, You have to choose something capable team for yourself! Like Brasil or Argentina, Not Oman! Oman is the weakest one! With This you could eleminated some hard opponent team and boost your team as well. Second, I didnt see the efficient score tatic. The goalceeper could not do anything If you shoot from 2-3 cm inner side of the 16m corner. I have not really seen this in your game! I was championship many times with Hungary! I can tell more about the curled oval straight shoot as well, and how do you need to play in rain. Its more like straight shoot is more efficient in rain. I have spent all my teeanaged with this and ELITE :)
I was fucking amazing at this
Hmmmmm......
