International Rugby

Developer: Unknown

International Rugby on the Sega Mega Drive captures the rough-and-tumble appeal of rugby with brisk 2D matches and straightforward controls. Players manage passing, tackling, scrums and tactical kicks across short, energetic halves; matches emphasize momentum, timing and quick decision-making rather than deep management. Local multiplayer shines for tense skirmishes with friends, while single-player modes challenge you to master positioning and set-pieces against increasingly stubborn AI. Chunky sprites, memorable chiptune soundtracks and arcade-style pacing deliver nostalgic charm and immediate fun, though the game rewards practice and patience to consistently break through stubborn defenses.
