European Soccer Challenge lets you play as one of fourteen European football teams against another player or the computer. You can choose from different options like the number of players, your skill level and the team you want to play as.
The game shows a match from above, where you control a small part of the pitch. The joystick helps you move the nearest player near the ball, while the fire button lets you shoot or pass. The keyboard is used to make choices on the menu screens.
