FIFA Soccer '96 on Game Boy is one of those old-school sports games that somehow makes tiny pixelated players feel like they’ve got real weight to them. You’ve got basic controls—pass, shoot, sprint—but the real charm is in how clunky yet satisfying it feels to dribble down the field with that chunky D-pad. The commentary’s just text popping up, but back then, even that felt kinda fancy.

It’s not the prettiest or deepest soccer sim, but there’s something weirdly addictive about the way the ball bounces unpredictably off defenders. And yeah, the rosters are hilariously outdated now, but scoring with a 90s-era player still hits different. If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule.
