VR Soccer

This early VR title captured the chaotic thrill of the beautiful game, albeit in a rudimentary fashion. VR Soccer put you in the boots of a single player, forcing you to navigate the pitch using a first-person perspective and simple head-tracking for aiming. The novelty of the VR presentation and the raw physicality of the player collisions were enough to keep players coming back, even if the gameplay was more akin to a physics experiment than a simulation of the sport.
VR Soccer (sometimes referred to as VR Soccer '96, and known as Actua Soccer in Japan and Europe) is a sports video game developed and published by Gremlin Interactive for MS-DOS, PlayStation, Sega Saturn. This was the first sports video game to include a full 3D graphics engine. For the animations of the players, 3 players of the club Sheffield Wednesday served as motion capture models. Actua Soccer contains only 44 national teams, each containing 22 players. However, in 1996 a new version containing clubs was released: Actua Soccer: Club Edition. It contained 20 Premier League teams from the 1996/1997 season. It became a best seller in Europe, mainly in the United Kingdom.
