Gameplay
International Soccer can be played by two players or one player against an AI opponent. Each team can select one of a number of colored shirts, and the AI opponent is graded into 9 different difficulty levels. The game itself is a relatively simple game of soccer - there is no offside rule and no possibility to foul opponents.
Each game is divided into two 200-second halves. There are no overtimes or shootouts. There are also six colors a person can choose from for play: red, yellow, blue, grey, white, and orange. The winning team is presented a gold trophy after the game by a dark-haired woman.
The game includes a gray-scale mode that is more suited for black-and-white television sets.
Reception
International Soccer was well received, gaining a Certificate of Merit in the category of "1984 Best Computer Sports Game" at the 5th annual Arkie Awards.[1]: 28 InfoWorld described International Soccer as Commodore's best competitor to the very successful Atarisoft games. The magazine wrote that the "minimasterpiece" was "surprisingly good, considering it's published by Commodore" (because "the normal standard for Commodore software is mediocrity"), praising gameplay and especially animation.[2] Ahoy! wrote that International Soccer "is a pure action game, but, oh, what action!", praising the graphics and game-play.[3]
