Developed by Renegade Software and published by Sensible Software, International Sensible Soccer: World Champions arrived on the Super Nintendo as a sports game.

It is part of the Sensible Soccer series; on the SNES you can also try Championship Soccer '94 and Sensible Soccer: European Champions. The series also appears on other systems with Sensible Soccer (Genesis) and International Sensible Soccer (Jaguar).

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you need current teams and rosters
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
