World Cup USA '94 on Game Boy is one of those classic sports games that somehow nails the simplicity of soccer while still feeling intense. You pick your team—I always went for Brazil because, well, Ronaldo—and jump straight into matches with that chunky pixelated charm. The controls are basic, just pass, shoot, and sprint, but nailing a long-range goal or pulling off a last-minute comeback still feels amazing.

It’s not super deep, but there’s something satisfying about the way the ball bounces unpredictably and how the AI actually puts up a fight. The commentary text is hilariously minimal ("GOOOOAL!"), and the crowd noise somehow makes your tiny Game Boy speaker sound like a stadium. If you’ve got nostalgia for '90s soccer or just love old-school handheld sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule.
