Popular games for collection Sensible Soccer
Sensible Soccer is a football video game series which was highly popular in the early 1990s and which still retains a cult following. Developed by Sensible Software and first released for Amiga in 1992, it featured a zoomed-out bird's-eye view, editable national, club and custom teams and gameplay utilising a relatively simple and user-friendly control scheme. One of the defining gameplay elements was the aftertouch feature, which enabled effective but unrealistic swerves. The game topped charts such as Amiga Power's "All Time Top 100". The graphic style of the game was used in other Sensible Software games, such as Mega-Lo-Mania, Cannon Fodder and Sensible Golf.
Released to coincide with the 1994 World Cup, this version of Sensible Soccer was the first in the series to include national teams from outside Europe. The full World Cup tournament is featured, with players able to modify the selection of 24 participating teams—a notable option for English and French fans, as neither nation qualified for the tournament. This edition also introduced an on-screen referee for the first time in the series. Club team data was updated to reflect recent transfers and kit changes since the previous version. Gameplay remains consistent with earlier editions, using a top-down perspective, small player sprites, and a loose ball control system.
The Arcade Legends Sensible Soccer Plus is a Sega Mega Drive "console on a chip" designed and manufactured by Radica under license from Sega Toys and Codemasters. It contains the Mega Drive versions of Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder and Mega Lo Mania.
The all-new Sensible Soccer comes complete with lightning fast football action, mesmerising dribbling, physics defying sliding tackles and, most famously, a huge amount of unbelievable goals, that can go curling into the top corner, thanks to the outrageous levels of after-touch. Sensible Soccer 2006 returns with a modern take on its trademark zoomed out camera and truly intuitive control system, which delivers total 360-degree control over your players' kicks and movement. Visually, the game has a distinctive new graphical style, which includes cel-shaded players with the classic enlarged heads, designed to appeal both to fans of the series and appeal to a new generation of gamers. The trademark top-down view allows you to see the build up play better than you can in any current football game. This gives the player a huge degree of tactical awareness and control that has never been bettered.
Sensible Soccer: European Champions for the Sega Master System and Game Gear is based on Sensible Soccer: European Champions: 92/93 Edition. The gameplay is identical: a fast-paced, top-down soccer game with emphasis on fast passes and simple control system. The main difference to the original is all content regarding custom teams is missing. However, in contrast to the 16-Bit version, all pre-set tournaments for national and club teams are still intact. It is also still possible to create own tournaments (cup or championship) with customizable rules with the available teams. The fake athlete names can't be edited. The proportions of athletes and playfield are identical in both versions, but the on-screen area is reduced on Game Gear.

Sensible Soccer, a title known for its influence on football simulation games, was released on mobile platforms by publisher Kuju Wireless. The mobile version of the original Sensible Soccer became available on the J2ME platform through Kuju Wireless, with development handled by Tower Studios—a company co-founded by Jon Hare, one of the original creators of the game. The mobile adaptation includes several features from the original title, such as: - 50 international teams - Individual statistics for over 800 players - Team tactics configuration on Nokia Series 60 devices - Customizable friendly, cup, and league modes - Yellow, red, and injury cards - Fast-paced gameplay

Sensible Soccer '98 was made for the World Cup 1998 and can be played as both player and coach. The gameplay is supposed to be mostly the same as for the old games but the graphics has been updated with a 3D engine. The games features three arcade options, plus a preset World Championship and the option to create your own competitions. You are also able to create your own custom teams.
Championship Soccer '94 is based on the computer game Sensible Soccer: European Champions. The gameplay is identical: a fast-paced, top-down soccer game with emphasis on fast passes and simple control system. Players can choose between 40 national, 64 club or 64 custom (fantasy) teams and can assemble their own tournaments (cup or league) with them. The number of participating teams and some of the rules can be customized. The main difference to the original is the reduced number of pre-set tournaments: for national teams World cup qualifiers and the new Maastricht Cup (a knockout tournament) and for club teams the European Superleague and EUFA Cup. Custom teams only have the Booby League and Turkey Tournament available anymore. Another important difference is that the athletes and tournaments no longer use original names, e.g. EUFA instead of UEFA. The SEGA CD version uses its increased storage capacity for additional sound and some rendered movies, e.g. a flight over a stadium before starting a match. Like the computer version, the only major change compared to the predecessor are the additional eleven national teams and updated team rosters. It also features the World Cup 1994 as pre-set tournament (with the original groups) instead of World Cup qualifiers. Otherwise it keeps the same pre-set tournament options and the option to create own tournaments (cup or league) with the 51 national, 64 club and 64 custom (fantasy) teams. The Genesis version features original names which are slightly changed in the European SNES version (e.g. Klonsmann instead of Klinsmann). In the US version, the names have no resemblance to original athletes.
Sensible Soccer: European Champions is a fast-paced soccer game. The action is shown from a top-down perspective which only shows a part of the playfield. The controls only use one button to initiate a shot: how long the button is pressed determines the strength and the direction pad controls the direction. However, there is also a novice mode available with the usual division between a shoot and pass button. Another important option is the dribbling (novice or expert) which sets how well the ball sticks to the controlled athlete. Before starting a match, there are also some limited tactical options available (choosing the formation and switching the position of athletes around). In contrast to the computer versions there are no pre-set tournaments, but the player can start two tournaments with customizable requirements: cup or league. The cup allows to set the number of rounds (one to four) and some rules can be switched on or off for each round individually (number of legs, extra time, penalties). The league on the other hand has the options number of teams (between one and seven), how often the teams face each other (between once and four times) and if a win rewards two or three points. The pitch type (normal, dry, wet, icy, hard or random) can be set in both modes. There are twenty national and twenty club teams (all with slightly changed original names) to choose from. General options are the game length (between three and seven minutes) as well as switching weather on or off.
An unreleased entry in the series, which was shown at E3 '98 by GT Interactive.
With the original Sensible Soccer having sold hugely, this updated version was released some months later (and then used as the basis for the later console versions). The teams are updated, with the sides present in the 92-93 European tournaments included, and the player names updated to take transfers into account. The game was tidied up and changed in a number of areas. The most significant change is the addition of red and yellow cards for discipline (2 yellow card offenses or one ‘professional foul’ (denying your opponent a clear goal-scoring opportunity) results in that player being sent off). The goalkeepers have been improved in skill, and the 1994 World Cup Qualifying tournament was added. This is the version that would be ported to various consoles, such as the SNES, Genesis, and in North America under the title "Championship Soccer '94".
