How To Give A Self Hanging Wedge

Tehkan World Cup (Tehkan, 1985)





Tehkan World Cup is without doubt one of the best football games never have been made, despite technological advances, it is still so enjoyable and entertaining as in his time. It is also an important game for the inspiration which led to other companies in developing their football games. Without going any further, the here mentioned Football Emilio Butragueño was very inspired by the game before us. Its value and significance are evident in the case and the year 85, when a video game indistria had much to offer. The game was put on the front of a selection in the upcoming World Cup in Mexico and liquidate our opponents round by round until reaching the final. In the days running, the selections could be identified by their costumes, but there was no name or select teams, so it was make the chulito typical and say that he had marked was the Vulture.



Tehkan, a company that became Tecmo, and giving us great games like other Euro-League gave us a footballing arcade simple controls, easy to learn and very high difficulty curve. Typically we already know: at first it scandalous thrashings endorse our rivals but with the passage of the rounds thing is getting more and more difficult. Despite its simplicity, speed devilish was testing our nerves in the most demanding games, those where the doormen stopped everything and the contrary seemed to play with 2 or 3 more players. Something that always infuriated me was the fact that control of the goalkeeper, which became a challenge, because the automatic player change a game that was going so fast that when we controlled the goalkeeper and we learned, and we had just straining a mackerel. Of course, if you were the PAREB the less a hero, for the unexpected.



The game had a bird's eye view and a vertical scroll would post imitadísimos in football games. Furthermore, the arcade cabinet curious, looking like a table made the deal to a friend we have sat face to face. The same background melody sounded in every game, the same referee's whistle the same tune when you dial and the celebration of goals, something that everyone who has given an opportunity to the game will have etched in memory. And is that ultimately, all this need, the search for cross-shot routine, breaking the network or get you into the goal for goal coupled with the challenge posed finished the game, made it in a truly intense that only required our expertise with the joystick and a button and every detail however insignificant it may seem today, just catching on to the player at the time.


Without doubt, this is one of the best football game ever. Timeless, fun and very addictive.
