Do you remember the FIFA World Cup back in 1998? Well, Neo Geo Cup ’98: The Road to the Victory is the unofficial game based on proceedings, enabling you to have a go at claiming the World Championship trophy. Now it’s arrived on Xbox One and has been given the ACA NeoGeo treatment to bring a faithfully reproduced version to the masses.
In ACA NeoGeo Neo Geo Cup ’98: The Road to the Victory (it’s quite a mouthful isn’t it?), the aim is to first qualify for the main event through an initial round of matches and then win the biggest prize of the lot. There are a ton of International teams to choose from, including the popular ones like Brazil, England and France, whilst a fair few underdogs feature such as Malaysia, Thailand, Zambia and Yugoslavia. Due to the lack of licensing, don’t expect to have proper named players like Ronaldo, Christian Vieri or David Beckham, instead making do with phoney, made-up names.
Anyone wishing to bask in the glory of this major football tournament, and all that it offers, should head on over to the Microsoft Store to purchase ACA NeoGeo Neo Geo Cup ’98: The Road to the Victory for a grand total of £6.09.
It’s not a huge price to pay for a bit of nostalgia is it? Let us know if you’ll be picking up this latest ACA NeoGeo offering in the comments below or on social media.
