European Club Soccer

System(s): Sega Mega Drive

Publisher: Virgin Games

Developer: Krisalis Software

Genre: Sports

Number of players: 1-8 (1-2 simultaneously)

Release	Date	RRP	Code
EU	1992-08		T-70046-50

European Club Soccer is a football game developed by Krisalis Software and published by Virgin Games for the Sega Mega Drive in 1992. It is a derivative of Krisalis' earlier football game, Manchester United Europe, specifically the version released for the 16-bit Amiga and Atari ST computers in early 1991.

Gameplay

Similar to Manchester United Europe, players can compete as a variety of club teams from around Europe, although changes were made to reflect the newer football season, a lack of Manchester United licensing and the differing Mega Drive hardware.

Teams

European Club Soccer features nearly 170 teams from across Europe, chosen on grounds of recent performance. There are some slight inaccuracies - the USSR no longer existed in 1992 and Yugoslavia was in the process of being broken up.
