European Club Soccer on the Sega Genesis is one of those early '90s football games that feels rough around the edges now but still has its charm. You get a mix of European clubs (though don't expect real player names—this was before licensing went wild), and the gameplay is pretty basic: pass, shoot, and hope your pixelated striker doesn't send the ball into the stands. The controls take a minute to get used to, especially if you're spoiled by modern FIFA, but there's something satisfying about the chunky sprites and that classic Genesis sound chip blaring crowd noises.

It's not the deepest football sim out there, but if you're into retro sports games, it's a fun little time capsule. Just don't go in expecting anything close to realism.
