UEFA Euro 96 England , an official licensed game of the European Championships held in England in 1996, is available to play on the Sega Saturn. All 16 teams from the tournament are playable, and players can choose from various game types such as the European Championship, Friendly Game, Practice Penalties, and Practice Match. The latter includes a unique twist where only the opposition's goalkeeper is on the pitch.
Additional features of the game include adjustable wind conditions and a choice of referees, each with two difficulty levels for 'vision' and 'discipline'. The former refers to how visible the referee will be during the match, while the latter affects their fairness. Long-time BBC sport commentator Barry Davies provides the commentary throughout the game. The game is powered by Gremlin Interactive's Actua Soccer engine.

How to Play
Introduction
Welcome to Euro '96, the fastest, smoothest football game ever on any home console. Euro '96 is the result of many months of painstaking research, both for the game engine and for the Euro '96 tournament. Sega is confident that Euro '96 will establish the benchmark for quality, playability, and presentation.
Once the game has loaded, it will alternate between Demo mode and the Main game screen. Pressing the Start button will take the player to the Main Menu Screen.
