Football/Soccer games have been an ever present genre in the world of video games. From the first generation Binatone Pong clone machines that added an extra bat and called it 'soccer mode' to the delights of Ultimate Team and the Alex Hunter story on FIFA 18, football/soccer is synonymous with video games whether we like it or not.
So in celebration of the World Cup 2018. we at Retro Asylum decided to play an 8 bit soccer game and the title chosen was Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. A much celebrated title, it was inspired by International Soccer on the C64 and has a very unique control system that relied upon careful timing of fire button presses and joystick movement.
