Gazza's Superstar Soccer is a football game released for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Amiga 500/600, Atari ST and Commodore 64 platforms. It was created in 1989 by Empire Interactive, and was named after the popular English footballer Paul Gascoigne.[1] It was also released in the Netherlands and Germany as Bodo Illgner's Super Soccer[2] and in Scandinavia as Anders Limpar's Proffs Fotboll

The game was included in several sports games compilations, such as Soccer Mania[3] and Grandstand.[4] The game also had a sequel, named Gazza II.[5]

Gameplay

The game has no scroll. Instead, it has three different screens showing one third of the field each. In one the player gets a side view of the middle of the field. When the ball goes out of the screen, a new screen with the goal at its top is shown (the camera is "flying" over the middle of the field).

A triangle is used to indicate the height and side effect of each shot.
