Football Games and how they've evolved part 3

Playstation 1
Addidas Power Soccer
My first football on the playstation 1 was Addidas Power Soccer. I recall there were some long delays in the game, if memory serves me correctly the awarding of a free kick would just kill time, but I enjoyed the graphics as it was the first major step into what I considered arcade quality graphics in the home.
I found the following on Youtube which gives you an idea as to how the game played.

 

Actua Soccer Series

I never owned Actua Soccer 1 on the Playstation 1 but was lucky to own Actua Soccer 2 and Actua Soccer 3.  These games were simply seen as the closest you could get to being in a real football match. On reflection the graphics are a little dated compared to what you get these days but at the time one would simply drool at the quality of the graphics and gameplay.

 

At the time around 1996 the Actua game series were serious competitors to EA sports in the sports games market. Games such as Actua Golf, Actua Tennis and Actua Ice Hockey were released in the series.

Pro Evolution Soccer Playstation 2

 The pro evolution series of games took soccer games into a new realm, they had it all, graphics, gameplay, speed, and realism. I discovered this link on Youtube which is a homage to all the PS2 pro evolution soccer games. Enjoy!!
