Golden Goal is one of those classic Game Boy Color football games that feels both simple and weirdly addictive. You pick from a handful of national teams (Germany, France, etc.), and the controls are basic—pass, shoot, tackle—but matches get surprisingly tense. The pixelated players move in that stiff, old-school way, but once you get used to it, you’ll be sliding tackles and aiming for the top corner like it’s the World Cup final.

What’s cool is how fast-paced it is—no drawn-out animations, just straight to the action. The AI isn’t exactly genius, but on higher difficulties, they’ll punish you if you just charge forward mindlessly. And yeah, the language options don’t really matter since the menus are easy to figure out anyway.

If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid time-waster with just enough depth to keep you playing a few extra matches.
