Name: Japan League Pro Striker series (3 titles)
Japan League Pro Striker 93
Japan League Pro Striker 2
Japan League Pro Striker - Final Stage
Author/Vendor: Sega
Released: various
Type: Sports (soccer)
Language: Japanese
Premise: Sega's in-house soccer sim for the Japanese market.
Impressions: Does it play like FIFA? Yes. Does it sound like FIFA? Yes. Does it look like FIFA? No, the game texts are all in Japanese and the playing field is viewed via top-side pseudo 3D slant view instead of isometric. That's the only real difference that matters. This series starts good and gets better as it goes, with Final Stage being the equal of the latter FIFA games. Now, if only it were in English....
Variations: This series is also commonly referred to as the J-League Pro Striker or the Pro Striker series.
Japan League Pro Striker 93 (1993, also referred to as Japan League Pro Striker)
Japan League Pro Striker 2 (1994)
Japan League Pro Striker - Final Stage (1995)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X (first game)
KGen 98 (the rest in the series, may have to set console to Japanese)
