Okay, so Tecmo Cup—yeah, the Japanese proto version—is this early '90s soccer game for the Genesis that somehow feels both janky and weirdly charming. The graphics are blocky as hell, and the players move like they’re sliding on ice half the time, but there’s something oddly satisfying about the way the ball bounces unpredictably. You’ve got your basic arcade-style controls—pass, shoot, tackle—but don’t expect FIFA-level finesse here. It’s more about frantic, chaotic matches where you’ll swear the AI cheats sometimes.

Fun detail: the crowd animations are just these pixelated blobs waving flags, and the commentary (if you can call it that) is basically random beeps. Definitely a relic, but if you’re into retro sports games, it’s a weird little time capsule.
