Download FIFA Soccer 97 - DOS, Windows XP/98/95 game

With FIFA Soccer 97, EA decided indoor soccer was exactly what the world had been waiting for, and honestly, they weren’t entirely wrong. The pace is frantic, the rebounds are wild, and matches often resemble pinball with shin guards. Graphically it pushed things forward again, though player faces still look like they’re carved from warm butter. The controls feel tighter than its predecessor, and the atmosphere—complete with enthusiastic, looping commentary—gives it that unmistakable late-90s sports vibe. There’s a certain joy in the exaggerated physicality; tackles fly in with all the subtlety of a freight train. It may not simulate the beautiful game perfectly, but it absolutely captures the beautiful chaos of it.

FIFA Soccer 97 review

GameZilla (1996): "Unfortunately, it's once you actually get into the game, actually begin trying to direct your players in competition against the computer, that FIFA is weakest. That's due mainly to the fact that there's just so darn much to keep track of in a soccer game. No PC soccer game has yet achieved complete success in recreating the intricate and varied movements possible in a soccer match in a way that is easily controllable with either a joystick or a keyboard. Simply for its overall quality, FIFA would be a fine choice if you're looking for a soccer game to add to your game collection, but be aware that despite its good looks it can be hard to control at times and it offers a steep learning curve that will frustrate many more players than it will please."
