Striker is a Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear football game. It was only released in Europe.

Confusingly it is the third game by Rage Software to use the Striker moniker - the original Striker was released for the Amiga in 1992 (later ported to the Amiga CD32 in 1994) and formed the basis for all Striker games to come. A second Striker was released for the Super Nintendo in 1994, being known as World Soccer '94: Road to Glory in North America, World Soccer in Japan and Eric Cantona Football Challenge in France. This third Striker was made exclusive to Sega systems as a spiritual sequel to Ultimate Soccer.

Gameplay

Striker takes influences from all prior football games released by Rage Software while also adding a list of features for itself. Of note is the multiple camera perspectives for the pitch and wide array of added features, including over 340 local and national teams (over five times the amount seen in Ultimate Soccer).

Due to a lack of FIFA (or other footballing body) licensing, local teams and players have falsified-but-recognisable names (for example, Newcastle becomes "Oldcastle").
