Sensible Soccer is a soccer simulation from 1992 that was developed by Sensible Software and marketed by Renegade .
The soccer game was first brought onto the market for the Amiga and the Atari ST , before it was finally implemented for PC and various video game consoles such as the SNES , Sega Mega Drive , Sega Mega-CD and Sega Game Gear .
Game description
The game was more playable than great graphics, but it was still considered one of the best football simulations for a long time. In this game you could choose from 64 clubs and 34 national teams, whose names, like those of the players, could be changed. You also had the option of creating your own leagues with up to 20 teams.
reception
Sensible World of Soccer (1994) was voted into the Game Canon in March 2007, a list of computer games that are considered milestones. The Library of Congress took up the suggestion and began long-term archiving of major video games, starting with the games on this list.
