Goal! On GB is one of those classic Game Boy soccer games that somehow nails the feel of the sport despite the tiny screen and chunky pixels. You pick your team—I always went for Brazil because, well, speed—and jump straight into matches that are way more intense than you’d expect. The controls are simple: pass, shoot, and sprint, but timing your tackles just right or nailing a long-range shot feels weirdly satisfying.
It’s not fancy by today’s standards, obviously, but there’s something about the way the ball bounces unpredictably or how goalkeepers pull off ridiculous dives that keeps it fun. Played it on long car trips as a kid, and it still holds up if you’re into retro sports games. Just don’t expect fancy commentary or flashy animations—this is pure, stripped-down soccer.
