I remember playing World Cup on my neighbor's Gameboy a ton, I loved trying the different bicycle kick every team had, scoring from the middle of the pitch lol.

Fantastic video - didn’t even know that many footy games existed!

Great video that deserves more views! My Football games of choice back in the 90s were Sensible Soccer on Amiga and Fifa96 later on PC.

Amazing analysis, thank you for going down memory lane. Wouldve been interesting to add the Captain Tsubasa series as well, some different goals there ;)

[dirkb]

ISS and ISS deluxe for the SNES. Later ISS 98 for the N64. And a while later Virtua Striker on Dreamcast. Those where my favorite Football games in the 90's. After that the PES games dominated my consoles.

What a PRECISE analysis!!! Can't wait for the 2000s...and still feel angy und frustrated remembering the nasty ball(non)control playing AMIGA KICK OFF...Thank you anyway

Fifa International soccer on sega in 94 was iconic for me.

[Hirnfurz]

Good work, but i miss Capcom's Soccer Shootout. ^^

[MattiosUK]

Only inclusion missing in this era arguably was Actua Soccer and at a push Adidas Power Soccer.

Looking forward to the next era covered (FIFA, PES, This is Football, Club Football and the last remnants of ISS)

[thanosrd]

iss64 didn't introduce throw balls or 1-2s. Iss deluxe already had them. Just hold down the pass button for a 1-2 (even the announcer says "one two") and there is a dedicated button for through balls (or maybe a combo of a shoulder button + pass, can't remember exactly)

1. There are chapter marks in the description (they should show in the video, but maybe they don't).
2. While I have fixed most of the subtitles, you are missing out by not turning the sound on - I put a lot of effort into selecting and timing 38 music tracks and adjusting in-game commentary volume (very prominent in chapters 5 and 6), basically treating this video like a work of art.
3. I could make this one of the best gaming channels on all YouTube, but for this to happen, I need your support.
