World Cup USA 94 is a football game based on the 1994 FIFA World Cup hosted in the USA. It was published by U.S. Gold for almost every system on the market at the time, including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear.

Gameplay

World Cup USA 94 is played from a top-down perspective. Likely to save on efforts localising the game for several languages, many of the menus and on-screen elements are pictorial (e.g. rather than print "throw in" on the screen, there is an animation of a linesman making a throwing gesture).

Teams

The game features the 24 national teams which qualified for the tournament.

Argentina
Belgium
Bolivia
Brazil
Bulgaria
Cameroon
Colombia
Germany
Greece
Holland
Ireland
Italy
Mexico
Morocco
Nigeria
Norway
Romania
Russia
Saudi Arabia
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
U.S.A.

However, in training mode a further eight teams be selected:

Australia
Denmark
England
France
Japan
Portugal
Scotland
Wales

Music and sound

The Mega-CD version of the game features two songs by the German rock band Scorpions: "No Pain No Gain" and "Under the Same Sun."
