MarcusAurelius Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 While we're on the subject of old arcade games, can anyone remember what the football game was called that they had in the leisure. It was a glass table one which you looked down on and you controlled it by spinning a bal. I think it was possibly World cup or something like that I remember this one as well , might be the one your looking for Tekhan World Cup , that was the best football game ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but there is no way you could recreate that game properly unless you actually had the table cabinet, that was what made it so good.
