About Champions World Class Soccer
This soccer game offers 32 national teams to play, with none of the players' names shown. Shown from a slightly tilted 3rd-person side perspective, players can do an exhibition match, full tournament or go against a human player in the 2-player exhibition mode. The different teams are ranked by speed, offense and defence, and different team formations can be selected. The gameplay is very basic: players can pass, shoot, tackle with a third button used to switch between players. In the options menu, fouls and offside can be disabled, the amount of time per half can be determined and there is a radar and mini-map to track the other players. The European edition is endorsed by Ryan Giggs and the game uses a password system to continue tournaments

A fast, smooth Genesis soccer game with a thin feature list, and among the cheapest US carts.
This is the Genesis version of Champions World Class Soccer, a game with 32 national teams developed by Park Place Productions and published by Flying Edge. It came out in Europe on 19 May 1994, in Japan on 24 June 1994 and in North America in 1994.
Game Players described the action as fast and smooth, with passing and shooting taking only a button press, but noted that the Genesis version has none of the Super NES announcer replays between halves and does not let you change teams or substitute players.
What the press said at the time
“Unfortunately, Champions Soccer is jerky, disjointed and basically no fun to play - especially against the com¬ puter, who cheats like hell and gets away with it most of the time.”
“If you're looking for a realistic soccer game for the Genesis, then your search is over. Champions World Class is a serious World Cup contender.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
Unlike the Super NES version, the Genesis game has no announcer replaying key footage between halves.

Before you buy
Among US carts this is one of the cheapest. The European cart usually costs a little more than the US one, and the Japanese cart usually costs far more and has a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
