Description Head-On Soccer

In this isometric soccer game 51 national teams are represented to play in two game modes: Exhibition and Tournament (a series of seven matches on four continents, with a final against the World All-Stars), with the possibility to set the time, the difficulty level, watch cutscenes after goals and whether players are free to kick without (many) fouls.

Although the game seems skimpy by 1995 standards, the tournament mode includes a twist: depending on how well the player defeats his opponents, he can swap his 'standard players', who won't do anything spectacular (but at least fill the ranks) for star players, who not only look different, are able to cross and back-heel the ball, but also have a unique ability at the player's disposal:The Marker: can hook an opposing player, preventing him from running away with the ball;
The Goalkeeper 1: is more capable of stopping shots than the normal goalkeeper;
Barger: this big, muscular player is able to push everyone in his way;
Tricky: able to jump (or hop like a rabbit, to be more precise) with the ball tucked between his feet, avoiding tackles;
The Cheat: while it's hard to talk about fair play in a game where kicking a defender's leg to win a corner is a legitimate move (for the most part), this player takes the whole thing to the next level, being able to draw fouls out of nowhere, at the cost of the ball (if he carries it or the referee allows play to continue) or just some spots on his jersey (if he tries to foul offensively), with 50/50 odds (25% for penalties);
Passer: able to feed the forwards with laser precision passes;
Forward 1: capable of impossible shots, scoring from virtually any position in the offensive area;
Striker 2: best used from positions directly in front of goal, this striker is characterized by such a powerful shot that the ball ignites as it approaches the goal;
Goalkeeper 2: has a better chance of stopping special shots from both strikers;
In exhibition matches, teams start with their own configuration of starting players, from none to a full team. The playing surface also affects the gameplay: playing on wet grass eliminates all ball bounce, the opposite is true for sand, and the most drastic change, a rocky pitch where the ball can change direction after hitting the ground, turning throw-ins into corners, bad goal attempts and vice versa.
