Virtua Striker Arcade

Similar to other football games of its time it is played from a side view but this one differs in being the first to use three dimensional texture mapped graphics.
The game is played with a stick and three buttons: one for shooting, one for passing short and one for passing long. Holding down the shoot button accumulates power while pressing quickly leads to a direct shot. When in a wide position the long pass button is used to make crosses. While defending the short pass button is used to do sliding tackles.
