FIFA International Soccer (FIFA インターナショナルサッカー), is the first game in the long-running FIFA series, developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive, as well as several non-Sega consoles and computers in 1993. Prior to the publisher acquiring a FIFA license, the game was known as EA Sports Soccer.[7]
Unlike later FIFA games which are presented in full 3D, FIFA International Soccer goes for an isometric perspective and has much simpler gameplay. Also, though it allows the user to play as official international teams, it does not feature official player names. Nevertheless, the combination of isometric graphics and a commentator set it aside from its rivals, namely the Sensible Soccer and Kick Off series.
A Sega Mega-CD update, FIFA International Soccer: Championship Edition, was released the following year.
