Tecmo World Cup '92 (テクモワールドカップ'９２) is a 1992 port of Tecmo's 1990 arcade game Tecmo World Cup '90 to the Sega Mega Drive by SIMS. The American release, distributed by Atlus, is called simply Tecmo World Cup.

Sega was also in the process of making a Sega Master System port which would become Tecmo World Cup '93 — a prototype ROM of that with the name Tecmo World Cup '92 circulates.

Gameplay

The game is a conventional pseudo-3D soccer game. A and C pass the ball; B kicks.
