A pretty solid, nicely scrolling soccer game.

Unlike with NFL Football, NASL Soccer had an accelerated play clock. Game play is pretty nice, with the illusion of full soccer teams accomplished by the side scrolling action. The ball is nicely drawn (better than in NFL Football). Nothing overwhelmingly good about this game - it's just a solid game that's fun with a good opponent.

A total of eleven NASL Soccer box variants have been documented.
