A horizontally-oriented soccer game from Taito. It's known as Hat Trick Hero in its native Japan, and Euro Football Champ in Europe.
A soccer game that scrolls horizontally at a slight angle, and uses a close-up zoom effect after a player scores. Only a small area of the pitch is on screen at a time, but there is a scanner to show the whole pitch.
Although the game has a referee, he often loses attention, and these moments give you a chance to foul, punch or side-swipe opposition players. One and two player options are included.
Depending on the version of the game some of teams change. The international teams included are: Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France. and Spain.
