FIFA International Soccer for the Sega Genesis is a pioneering sports simulation game and the first in the long-standing FIFA series. Developed by EA Sports and released in 1993, it is a soccer video game that offers a top-down and isometric perspective, a departure from the common side view featured in previous football titles. Players can select from international teams to compete in exhibition matches, tournaments, or season play. The game emphasizes realism with its inclusion of realistic ball physics and player movements, injecting strategic depth and an authentic feel into the gameplay.
