The developer of this one is a friend of mine, here's his pitch:

I am developing this as a game inspired by one of my favorite Super Nintendo games, ISS Deluxe. I wanted to bring back the fun of those games, where you recognized certain players just by their hairstyle, where the game was easy to learn but deep enough to have really exciting matches with different shot types, exciting dribbling and great passing. Basically a mix of ISS Deluxe and ISS Pro which I think nailed the mix of fun but also feeling like real football.

I wanted that feeling back when I was a small kid playing with my best friend, with Galfano and Sieke, celebrating the ridiculous celebrations, last minute goals and crunching tackles.

But I also wanted to orient myself on the good features more modern games brought like the Master League and Career Mode. So the game will also have a classic Master League where you start with a squad of lower level players and through matches earn points to upgrade the squad with new players. For Career Mode, you will be able to do transfers, sign sponsors and upgrade the club staff and stadium - all in 90s style, with newspaper snippets keeping you up-to-date.

I am really interested in what you remember and miss of those old games. What are some of your memories? Exciting goals you scored, controls that felt intuitive, and players you loved when you were growing up?

I can't wait to show more of my game over time and hope you enjoy the journey.
