World Cup '92 by Tecmo

Developer: Tecmo

Tecmo’s World Cup '92 for the Sega Master System delivers arcade-style soccer action with brisk matches, tight controls, and an emphasis on fast attacks and goalmouth scrambles. You pick national teams and race through short tournament matches where timing, passing, and opportunistic shots win games. Its simplified controls and energetic presentation capture the 8-bit era charm, making it accessible for quick head-to-head play or solo tournament runs. Expect a nostalgic pixel aesthetic, responsive two-player competition, and a difficulty curve that rewards practice rather than realism—great for competitive couch sessions and retro sports fans.
