Description
Dino Dini returns with the revival of one of the most iconic football games of all time—Kick Off! Originally released in 1989, the game was advertised with the slogan: "Playing it is easy, mastering it will take time - A lot of time."

Designed for players who seek the thrill of executing precise moves under pressure, this is a game for the hardcore enthusiasts where every success or failure is solely a result of your commitment to improving your skills.
