Commodore's International Soccer

About

Commodore's International Soccer is a two-player soccer simulation designed for the Commodore 64, 128, and MAX. Each player controls four on-field characters but interacts with one at a time while the computer handles the remaining three. The game features a basic 90-minute match where players aim to outscore their opponent through passes, dribbles, and shots. A computer-controlled goalie helps defend during scoring chances, adding strategy to long-range attempts. The challenge of managing one active player while relying on CPU-controlled teammates is a defining trait, though it limits tactical depth. Despite simple graphics and controls, the game’s straightforward action and minimal setup make it a quick pick for a competitive match. Released in late 1983, it’s a relic of early sports game design where execution came down to timing and basic field awareness.
