Goal! Goal! Goal!: Kick Off a Retro Soccer Adventure

An Introduction to Goal! Goal! Goal!

Goal! Goal! Goal! is more than just a soccer video game; it's a nostalgic journey back to the world of Neo-Geo gaming in 1995. Developed by Visco and edited by SNK, this game captures the essence of simplified football/soccer, offering players a chance to experience the excitement of a World Cup-style tournament.

Gameplay and Mechanics

In Goal! Goal! Goal!, you'll find yourself immersed in a football/soccer World Cup scenario. Your objective? To eliminate seven teams on your path to ultimate victory. The tournament structure is straightforward, consisting of three teams initially announced in a group stage and another four teams in the direct elimination stage.

Unlike real-world football, each match lasts just two minutes, with the clock stopping whenever the ball is out of play, deviating from the official rules of the sport. When the clock ticks down to zero, there are 12 additional seconds of injury time, even though it's not displayed on the screen.

Here's the kicker – in case of a draw, you'll need to insert an additional credit to continue the game. At this point, you have a choice: either replay the game or opt for a penalty shootout, adding an element of suspense to the proceedings.

The Teams and the Goal

Goal! Goal! Goal! brings together 28 national teams, each with unique characteristics differentiating them from one another. When selecting a team, you'll notice three key attributes: Shooting, Defense, and Speed. These attributes define your team's strengths and weaknesses on the virtual pitch.

Here's a glimpse at some of the countries represented:

1. Shooting, Defense, and Speed – Each team has its own blend of these attributes, making every match unique and challenging.
2. Tournament Format – The game follows a structured format, starting with a group stage and progressing through direct elimination rounds.
3. Nail-Biting Matches – With matches lasting just two minutes (excluding stoppage time), every second counts as you strive to outscore your opponents.

Goal! Goal! Goal! is more than just a soccer game; it's a ticket to the past, a chance to experience the thrill of a World Cup competition from the comfort of your web browser. Whether you're a soccer enthusiast or a gamer looking for some quick, exciting fun, this game offers an accessible and enjoyable experience.
