In this video, Euro Soccer '88, released in 1988 for the Atari ST by Grandslam Entertainment.
Also known as "Peter Beardsley's International Football" this is a game of soccer and I think I don't need to explain what soccer is. Indeed, what I need to explain is:
That you control big sprites in a relatively small playing area leaving little space for manoeuvring;
That controls are unresponsive and inaccurate;
That the AI is so numb that there is no challenge and it's much better to play vs a friend;
That the music chiptune is repetitive from loading until you switch off the ST;
That there are no off-side rule and fouls. The silent referee appears only when the ball goes outside the playing field.
IMHO one of the worst soccer game I ever played.
Here you'll find loading and selection screens in german language and gameplay of a single match.

All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
