Play Rugby World Cup ?95 Online

Rugby World Cup '95 came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, published by EA Sports. It was one of the few rugby games available on the console at the time, arriving when sports titles were starting to feel a bit more substantial in their mechanics. You got a full international tournament to play through, which was the main draw if you were into the sport.

You control a team of fifteen players, directing their movement and initiating tackles or passes. The main goal is to win the World Cup by scoring more points than your opponents through tries, conversions, and penalty kicks. Key mechanics include a side-on perspective that scrolls as you advance, a button for kicking the ball high for strategic positioning, and a dedicated tackle command to stop the opposing team's progress. The game moves at a brisk pace, and the computer can be surprisingly aggressive on higher difficulty settings, forcing you to think about your next pass before you get swarmed. It feels like a scrappy, physical match where a single break can change everything.
