Play Fifa Soccer '98 Online

FIFA Soccer '98 came out for the Game Boy in 1997, developed by EA Canada. It was one of the portable football games you could carry in your pocket during that era, a time when handheld sports titles were simpler but still captured the basic feel of the sport.

You control a team of players on a small, top-down field. The main goal is to score more goals than the opposing team within the match time. You pass the ball between your players, sprint down the wings, and take shots on goal. The game uses a screen by screen progression; when the ball or a player moves off one edge, the view shifts to the adjacent part of the pitch. Defensively, you tackle to win possession and your goalkeeper will automatically attempt saves. The pacing is quite quick, and matches can become difficult against smarter computer opponents who intercept passes effectively. It feels responsive and straightforward, a solid pocket-sized version of football.
