Taito's soccer title utilizes a side-scrolling perspective to manage player movement and ball control. Competing in matches with up to two players, you navigate the pitch to score goals while watching cheerleader performances during the half-time show. This arcade port translates the original coin-op experience to the Famicom Disk System for home play.
