Microprose Pro Soccer
Commodore 64 · 1988
About this game
This soccer simulation was programmed by "Sensible Software" (known through "Wizball" and "SEUCK") and published by "Microprose" (which until then had made a name for themselves with mostly warlike simulations).
The game consists of two different soccer simulations, you can carry out a match in the stadium or indoors.

The field is always shown from the top and scrolled softly into all directions.
The player that is controlled at the moment can be recognized by a flickering football shirt.
If you have the ball you can pass or shoot.
The longer you keep the fire button pressed, the sharper the shot will be.
Additionally, the trajectory bends if the joystick is pressed to the left or right.
If the opponent has the ball, you can try to take it away from him with a sliding tackle.
When the own keeper gets visible, you take over his controls and a press on the fire button makes the keeper jump.
Indoor soccer has some fundemental changes to the rules.
The ball cannot roll into the out, but it bounces from the cushion.
Furthermore, the keeper can be the goalgetter himself (in contrast to the stadium where he is limited to the penalty area).
If a goal is scored, the scene is repeated in slow motion and one can watch the attack unhurriedly.
Extensive and clearly arranged menus enable you to change many parameters of "Microprose Soccer".
These range from the length of a match (2 to 12 minutes) to details of the controls.
Also the weather can be changed and by this you can get a proper rain shower during the game by coincidence.
With a wet ground the ball rolls further and the players sometimes slip.
Different game modes make for diversity.
Up to 15 players can enter their names and then compete with each other in a league.
One can also take part in a World Cup, whereby the venue corresponds to the one of a real World Cup.
The computer takes over the controls of as many teams as needed.
The strengths of the teams correspond approximately to the real national teams (random exceptions can happen).
Scores can be saved any time and additionally there is a "Name Bank", a database with names of clubs, but there is limited memory, 16 clubs can be created.
Therefore you cannot import the whole Premier League, but it is enough for an own league.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Microprose Pro Soccer for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Microprose Pro Soccer to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1988.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Microprose Pro Soccer, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore 64 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
