In the game, trying to predict the events of the 1990 World Cup held in Italy, you may choose a team to play soccer and to win the championship.
On the field in third person side-scrolling view you may control the player with the ball or the player nearest to the ball, moving him in eight directions, trying to get the ball, and performing the kick. Pressing the 'kick' key down will increase the power of the kick. The number of players on the field is unusual and consists of 7 players for each team including the goalkeeper.
The game is available for 1-8 players, and it has a slightly different range of computer AI levels, game speeds, match durations, and countries in Amiga/C64 versions.
This soccer simulation was programmed by "Sensible Software" (known through "Wizball" and "SEUCK") and published by "Microprose" (which until then had made a name for themselves with mostly warlike simulations). The game consists of two different soccer simulations, you can carry out a match in the stadium or indoors. The field is always shown from the top and scrolled softly into all directions. The player that is controlled at the moment can be recognized by a flickering football shirt. If you have the ball you can pass or shoot. The longer you keep the fire button pressed, the sharper the shot will be. Additionally, the trajectory bends if the joystick is pressed to the left or right. If the opponent has the ball, you can try to take it away from him with a sliding tackle. When the own keeper gets visible, you take over his controls and a press on the fire button makes the keeper jump.
Indoor soccer has some fundemental changes to the rules. The ball cannot roll into the out, but it bounces from the cushion. Fu
Five a side football is played indoors, in a walled arena which causes the ball to rebound at an angle when fired against it. This game gives you the chance to play this, either against a friend or the computer. The action is viewed top-down, with a slight angle giving a 3D effect, which is especially noticeable when the ball is in the air. You control the player nearest to the ball, including the goalkeeper once the ball reaches the 6-yard area, and can pass or shoot from any distance. The length of the match can be altered, as can the colour of the pitch.

Hole-In-One Miniature Golf provides an overhead view of each hole. The gameplay is controlled entirely with the mouse. You place the ball on the starting pad and click the left mouse button. Once you have placed the ball, "stretch" a line from the ball to the pointer. The direction the line is pointing is the direction the ball will go. The length of the line or the distance between the pointer and the ball is relative to the power on the shot. Once you are satisfied, click the left mouse button to putt the ball.
You are allowed to go three shots over par. Any more than that and you will get a penalty stroke and must advance to the next hole (or player). You can also get one stroke penalty for going into a water hazard. Your scorecard will be displayed after the first nine holes but can be viewed at anytime using the Options Menu.
