World Cups USA '94 is one of those classic Sega Genesis soccer games that somehow nails the chaotic energy of the '94 World Cup. The pixelated players move with that slightly janky but weirdly satisfying animation, and the controls are simple enough that you can pull off a decent slide tackle without memorizing a combo.

What I love is how it leans into the era—bright jerseys, that unmistakable early '90s crowd roar, and teams that feel just unbalanced enough to be realistic (good luck if you pick Bolivia). The gameplay’s faster than you’d expect, with matches that can flip from 0-0 to absolute madness in the last five minutes. And yeah, the graphics are dated, but there’s charm in how the keeper dives like a brick with limbs.

It’s not the deepest soccer sim, but for a quick, nostalgic kickaround, it still holds up. Just don’t expect fancy commentary or flawless physics—this is pure arcade-style chaos with a side of vintage FIFA vibes.
