The Sega Master System version of World Cup Italia '90 is a football game developed and published by Sega in 1990.

While often paired with the Sega Mega Drive game World Cup Soccer, the Master System version is a different game, with more teams, a less zoomed-in perspective, and completely different graphics and audio. It also has even less to do with the event it is named after than the Mega Drive game - it just models itself after international football as it stood in 1989/1990.

In Brazil the game was retitled Super Futebol II, claiming to be a "sequel" to an older Master System title, World Soccer.

Gameplay

World Cup Italia '90 is a top-down football game which adheres to most of the sport's rules. There are no free kicks.
