Tehkan World Cup (set 1)

Tehkan World Cup is a two-player soccer game released in 1985 by Tehkan. Players control their team using a trackball to direct movement and a single button for kicking, competing against each other in a tournament format to become the world champion. The gameplay focuses on strategic positioning and precise kicks as you navigate your players across the field, attempting to score goals while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The game features a simple yet engaging presentation with straightforward visuals that emphasize the action. A unique feature allows players to unlock hidden music tracks by entering specific names – "TOMI" for the ending theme and "MICH" for an exclusive track - during the high score entry sequence after completing a match. Programmed by Michishito Ishizuka and planned by Shinichiroh Tomie, Tehkan World Cup offers a classic arcade soccer experience with surprising secrets to discover. Ported to consoles like PlayStation 2 and Xbox, this title remains an example of early arcade sports gaming.
