Onside Soccer

About

Onside Soccer is a football management and match simulation game designed for 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Released in 2007 by OlderGames, it lets players control teams through matchday strategies and in-game actions. The single-player mode focuses on tournament progression while multiplayer matches emphasize competitive head-to-head play. Controls and mechanics lean toward accessibility over realism with simplified passing and shooting systems. This title gained attention for featuring real-world player Peter Schmeichel in earlier versions though the 3DO edition trimmed some licensing details. Community reviews note its charm as a niche experiment with a small but dedicated following. While not graphically advanced by modern standards users praise its straightforward gameplay and historical significance as one of the platform’s few sports titles.
