FIFA International Soccer IBM PC MS-DOS 1994


FIFA International Soccer IBM PC



Creative Assembly released FIFA International Soccer for IBM PC MS-DOS 5.0 in 1994. FIFA International Soccer was ported to IBM PC MS-DOS from the Sega Genesis original by Electronic Arts Canada, which was released in December of 1993.

FIFA International Soccer displays its isometric playfield in 256-color VGA 320x200.

The IBM PC version of FIFA International Soccer was programmed by Tim Ansell, Clive Gratton and Adrian Panton.

FIFA International Soccer requires an i80386-25 MHz CPU, 4 megs of RAM and VGA graphics card. Supports DoubleSpace and joystick and Gravis PC Gamepad.

FIFA International Soccer was distributed on 3x 3.5" 1.44MB HD diskettes and extracts and installs to hard disk drive via Electronic Arts Installation program. The hard disk drive install size is 7.3 megs.

FIFA International Soccer sounds supports AdLib Gold, Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster 2.0, Sound Blaster 16, Sound Blaster Pro/New/MCA, Sound Blaster AWE32, Pro Audio Spectrum/16 and SFX Classic 3000. Music supports Sound Blaster/2.0/16/Pro/New/MCA, AdLib/Gold, Wave Blaster, Pro Audio Spectrum/16, SFX Classic 3000 and Roland LAPC-1/SSC1.

While certainly not a bad soccer game, FIFA International Soccer is not as full-featured or as fast or fun to play as the older top-down English football games on the Amiga. Overall, I give it 5/10.

FIFA International Soccer DOSBox settings: cputype=386_prefetch.
