Zico Soccer

Zico Soccer (ジーコ サッカー)[1] from Electronic Arts is a Super Famicom football management video game that allows players to become the head coach of an international football team; it was named after the Brazilian midfielder Zico, who at the time was playing for Japanese team Kashima Antlers.

No club play is possible with national leagues; there are only international teams (except for Kashima Antlers).

Perhaps because the hurdles were too high for beginners and the game's half-hearted use of real names was not well received, sales of this title were poor.

For this reason, it is infamous as a “typical throwaway title from the late era of Super Nintendo Entertainment System” than for the content of the game itself.

One store reported that “new copies were piled up on the wagon for 10 yen.
