How to Play
Handling Your Saturn Disc
The Sega Saturn disc is intended for use exclusively with the Sega Saturn system. Do not bend, crush, or submerge it in liquids. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or near a radiator or other source of heat.
Take occasional recesses during extended play to rest yourself and the disc. Keep the disc clean by holding it by the edges and storing it in its case when not in use. Clean with a lint-free, soft dry cloth, wiping in straight lines from center to edge. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Warning to Owners of Projection Televisions
Still pictures or images may cause permanent picture-tube damage or mark the phosphor of the CRT. Avoid repeated or extended use of video games on large-screen projection televisions.
Seizure Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals.
Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a video game, immediately discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming play:
•
Dizziness
•
Altered vision
•
Eye or muscle twitches
•
Loss of awareness
•
Disorientation
•
Any involuntary movement
•
Convulsions
Starting the Game
1. Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in control pads. If you wish to play a three or four player game, plug a Multi-Team Player Adaptor (sold separately) into Control Port 1, and plug any remaining controllers into the ports on the Multi-Team Adaptor.
2. Place the Striker 96 disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
3. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo appears on screen. (If nothing happens, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.)
4. If you wish to stop the game in progress or the game ends, press the Reset button on the Sega Saturn console to display the on-screen Control Panel.
Important: Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Title and Language Selection
An introductory title sequence will begin. To bypass this at any time and go to the main menu, press Start on the Player 1 D-Pad. This will bring you to the Title Screen. Press Start from here to access the Language Menu.
The Language Screen allows you to select between English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Use the D-Pad Up and Down to highlight a language, and Start to advance to the Main Menu. Press B to cancel back one screen.
The Main Menu
When the Main Menu screen appears, you will see six choices: Friendly, Competition, Setup, Load, Quickstart 1P, and Quickstart 2P. To access any choice, press Up or Down on the D-Pad to highlight your choice, then press Start.
•
To go back to the Main Menu at any time, press the B button.
•
To advance to the next screen, press Start.
•
To select or toggle a menu item, press the A or C button.
Friendly Mode
A Friendly Match is a single game for between one and four players. For details on this play mode, see Friendly Matches on page 15.
Competition Mode
Choosing Competition allows up to 4 players to compete in a variety of ongoing matches, including Trophy, Tournament, League, and Euro 96 matches. For details on these different game modes, see Competition Matches on page 16.
You can also load a previously saved Competition Match here by highlighting Load, then choosing the desired saved match slot and pressing the Start or C button.
Setup Options
To select an option, press Up or Down on the D-Pad. An option is on when a ball is displayed next to it. Toggle the ball display off and on by pressing the A or C button.
•
Commentary: Choose to play with or without commentary. Also set the volume of the in-game commentary.
•
Sound Effects: Choose to play with or without sound effects. The default setting is On. Also set sound effects volume.
•
Indoor/Outdoor: Choose your game setting. The default setting is Outdoor.
•
Outdoor Games are played on a regulation size outdoor field with a full complement of 11 players. The standard rules of soccer apply.
•
Indoor Games are played on a smaller indoor field with only 6 players (including the goalie) per side. Weather and field condition options are turned off. In indoor games, the field is surrounded by a wall which causes the ball to bounce back into play. Because of the wall, there are no throw-ins, corner kicks, or goal kicks. Because foul kicks and penalties are impossible, no fouls are called.
Once you have set up your game the way you want it, press the Start button to return to the Main Menu.

Tips & Maps
One Touch Passing
In Simulation Mode, press the C button quickly to set up a series of passes before the current player has the ball, which is great for moving the ball around the penalty area. You can also use this technique for heading by pressing the A button when the ball is in the air, allowing you to set up the next move while an opponent automatically intercepts and heads the ball.
Anticipating Passes
Watch your opponents and press the C button as they make a pass; if your player is closer to the ball than the intended target, they will automatically move to intercept it.
