Soccer Brawl is a futuristic soccer game first released in arcades on February 14, 1992. It was available on the Neo Geo on March 13 the same year and later for the Neo Geo CD on March 31, 1995.

Gameplay

It is a futuristic soccer game that uses either bionic people or cyborgs for the players. It is a two-player game where you pick a home land from one of eight countries. After selecting one of two stadiums, either a dome or an open field, the 5-on-5 soccer match begins with a goalie for each team. You can hold either A for a power shot while on offense, or A for a super shot to disable opponents while on defense. You can perform tackle and slide. Captain wears a kerchief, can't shoot and can make super shot. Power shots rebound from walls except walls behind the goalie.

Rules

There are no fouls. Throw-in is made in case of the ball landing outside of field line. Match time is 2 min 30 sec.

Neo Geo CD version

It is possible to choose the difficulty level: Beginner, Normal, Hard, MVS. A match consists of 2 periods. It is possible to set period time (15, 30, 45 or 90 min), but it is not actual minutes. The half time shows are humorous monochrome skits showing unlucky attempts of engineers to build robots. Also, there are no women on the score screen.

Germany (yellow and black)
England (yellow and purple)
