About this game
Captain Tsubasa turns soccer encounters into command decisions. Move while dribbling, then choose whether to pass, shoot or try to dribble past an opponent. On defense, select marking, tackling or interception according to the threat. Actions spend guts, which can make later commands unavailable or less likely to succeed. Match experience develops abilities, and pre-match meetings provide information for the next opponent. Score-memo passwords let the campaign be resumed.
