World Cup '90 (World)

World Cup '90 is a classic arcade football game, offering an exciting and intuitive competitive experience. Players control one of the national teams that participated in the 1990 World Cup and compete to win the championship.

The gameplay of World Cup '90 focuses on fast-paced, accessible play, typical of arcade games of that era. Basic controls include player movement, passing, shooting, and tackling (slide tackle or standing tackle). The passing system is quite simple, usually direct passes or lob passes. Shots can be executed with varying power depending on how long the button is held.

When defending, players can try to win the ball from opponents by tackling or pressing. The referee will call fouls for overly rough plays. A characteristic feature of arcade games is that the match speed is often very fast, and goals can come continuously. Sometimes, long-range shots can result in surprising goals, providing an exhilarating feeling.

The game typically features a Tournament mode where players must advance through knockout rounds or group stages to reach the final. Each match has a time limit, and if tied, there might be extra time or a penalty shootout. The game's graphics and sound are distinctly 90s arcade style, with simple but recognizable player sprites, along with crowd cheers and energetic background music.

Although it lacks the strategic depth of modern football games, World Cup '90 remains appealing due to its high entertainment value, competitive nature, and the joy of scoring goals. It's an ideal title for anyone looking to relive the classic football atmosphere on an arcade machine.
