FIFA 94

How can we talk about gaming without the most popular sports game in Israel? The first game of the FIFA series came out at the end of 1993 ahead of the USA World Cup, but there was no official game of the tournament. It only contained national teams, and yes, Israel was there too. The names of the players as mentioned were fictional, but the game engine was revolutionary in comparison to the football games from previous years, with cheering crowds, more realistic players’ movements in the game, the goal celebrations and the cup raising at the end.

FIFA 97 is also worth a download, because it was the first game to also contain leagues and teams, and the players’ names were real. This is where the business started to get serious. It also had a 5-by-5 football game, a cool aspect that never came back to FIFA afterward.
