The Japanese Tecmo World Cup ’92 name doesn’t make a bit of sense since the World Cup wasn’t even played during 1992, and in the USA the game is simply called Tecmo World Cup since the prequel wasn’t released stateside, but the name makes more sense anyway. The game is a sequel to Tecmo World Cup, which came out in 1990 and made sense since 1990 was a year in which the World Cup was played.

When I finally tried it out it donned on me that the game was a mixed bag and lacked the depth that their other games were so well known for. I found out about this game during a random thrift store visit, this game was laying around (who knows how a Japanese game ended up there) and I liked Tecmo and had to give it a try. and also that I’m not normally huge into sports games very often. The company was met with warm thoughts when mentioned to gamers of the era, but how many of you know that Tecmo released two soccer games on the Genesis that never saw the light of day in the states? I never did either, due to the fact that soccer isn’t that popular in the U.S. Who will ever forget Tecmo Bowl on the NES, a game that defined what a video game could do for the sport of football, they released Tecmo NBA Basketball for the NES, Tecmo Super Bowl and Tecmo Super Baseball on the SNES, and they played very well. In the late ’80s to early ’90s Tecmo was a staple in the video game industry for their solid sports games. Genre: Sports Developer: SIMS Co Publisher: Atlus Players: 1-2 Released: 1992
