FIFA International Soccer

FIFA International Soccer, known as EA Soccer during development and sometimes subsequently also known as FIFA '94, was the first game in the series, and was released in the weeks leading up to Christmas 1993. This greatly hyped football title broke with traditional 16-bit era games by presenting an isometric view rather than the more usual top-down view (Kick Off), side view (European Club Soccer), or bird's-eye view (Sensible Soccer).

It only includes national teams, real player names are not used. A notorious bug allows the player to score by standing in front of the goalkeeper so that the ball rebounds off him into the net. The Sega Mega CD version was released under the title FIFA International Soccer Championship Edition and includes some features used in the next title, and is a highly polished version of the original. The game on the 3DO console sported pseudo-3D cameras and it was the most graphically advanced version. Also, the game is playable on the PlayStation 2 version of FIFA 06. The game was made in celebration for the 1994 World Cup held in the United States.
