World League Soccer, known as Pro Soccer (Japanese: プロサッカー, Hepburn: Puro sakkā) in Japan, is an association football-based sports video game developed by C-Lab, and released for Super NES and Sharp X68000 systems in 1991.

Gameplay

As the player approaches the goal, he controls the soccer ball with the greatest of ease.

This video game was ported from the original Amiga version called Kick Off 2; which was one of the most popular soccer game of the early 1990s. The game features a full tournament mode in addition to four different pitches (including a plastic pitch which caused controversy in the 1980s for some English football clubs). The game's two-player mode largely requires on luck instead of skill to make plays like goals and free kicks. While the graphics are standard for the Super NES, the "jerky" scrolling destroys the limited playability that exists in the game.

Each game has a large field along with a massive variety of options and a signature overhead view; making the game similar to World Championship Soccer for the Sega Mega Drive. However, the viewpoint is much to be desired and the almost complete lack of gameplay spoil all the enjoyment out of the game. Ball handling controls tend to be extremely difficult despite the simplistic approach to soccer. A variety of moves – including the aftertouch – are fully accessible with by only using one button on a standard joystick. This is a feature that is exclusive to this game and not found even on modern soccer games.

gollark: Somewhat open, they aren't telling people all the production details I guess. Not sure if anyone was asking for that.

gollark: The Moderna one *is* effectively open but nobody has actually done anything with it.

gollark: As far as I know the IP thing is a red herring. Moderna said they wouldn't enforce patents on their vaccine, but nobody else is manufacturing it, because it's actually quite hard: you need specialized knowledge and equipment which is hard to attain externally.

gollark: Someone mentioned this, yes. Like I said, I don't follow cancer much.
