FIFA Soccer 96 on SNES is one of those games that feels like slipping on an old pair of sneakers—comfortable, familiar, and a little rough around the edges. The pixelated players move in that stiff-but-charming mid-90s way, and the commentary is hilariously repetitive (you’ll hear "he shoots!" way too often). But there’s something satisfying about the simplicity—no fancy skill moves, just basic passing, sprinting, and those satisfying long-range goals that somehow always feel like luck.

It’s not the prettiest or deepest soccer sim, but the nostalgia hits hard if you remember renting this from Blockbuster back in the day. The teams are a time capsule of mid-90s football, and the controls are easy enough that you can pick it up immediately, even if the AI occasionally does something bizarre. Just don’t expect modern FIFA—this is pure, janky retro soccer at its most basic.
