International Superstar Soccer: 1994 FIFA World Cup Edition

International Superstar Soccer, developed by Konami, is a classic football game that captures the excitement of the FIFA World Cup. This title includes 26 national teams, with line-ups even for non-entrants like Austria, Denmark, France, Wales, Scotland, and England, based on their qualifying rosters. However, four teams that qualified for the real 1994 FIFA World Cup—Bolivia, Saudi Arabia, Greece, and Morocco—are not featured in the game.

Game Modes

International Superstar Soccer offers a variety of engaging game modes to keep players entertained:

  • Open Game: This mode allows players to engage in a friendly match against the CPU or another player. Alternatively, users can watch the CPU control both teams for a spectator experience.
  • International Cup: This mode replicates the FIFA World Cup format, with teams divided into six groups of four. The top 16 teams advance to the knockout stage, battling it out until a champion emerges.
  • World Series: In this league competition, all teams face off in a round-robin system, ensuring intense matchups throughout the tournament.
  • Training: This mode offers a series of skill-building challenges focused on dribbling, passing, shooting, defending, and corner kicks. Players are tasked with completing these challenges under time constraints to sharpen their abilities.
  • Scenario: In this mode, players take control of one of nine ongoing matches, all starting in the second half. The player's goal is to achieve victory before time runs out, withdraw counting as failures.
  • Penalty Kick: A simple mode where players engage in a penalty shootout. Each team takes five shots, and if the score is tied, the match moves to a sudden death round.
  • Updated 2-Player Mode: This recently added feature allows players to enjoy the game with friends or family on the same computer, adding a social element to the competitive gameplay.
