UEFA Euro 96 England

About

UEFA Euro 96 England is a sports management game built around the 1996 European Championships held in the UK. You pick from 16 licensed teams and play through tournament modes or practice scenarios like penalty kicks and defensive drills. The match engine borrows from Gremlin Interactive's Actua Soccer series but simplifies controls for casual play. Commentary comes from veteran BBC voice Barry Davies adding authentic broadcast flair to every match. The game lets you tweak weather with adjustable wind effects and select referees with varying levels of officiating accuracy. Two difficulty settings for referee 'vision' and 'discipline' change how strictly calls are made during friendly matches. Released in late 1996 for PC and Sega Saturn, it captures pre-internet era football strategy with minimal online features. Single player only.
