[Fowler Is God]

I remember the first FIFA, the one without a year. It was called FIFA International Soccer.... and we played it on a Sega system here in the states. For some reason I recall a striker on the Israel team, called Y. Schlomo. I have no idea if the Israeli side had such a player or not at the time (which was about 1992 or 1993), but for football fans here in the states, the game was a freaking REVELATION.All the others have had more features, and of course game engines and graphics today destroy everything from "back in the day," but for sheer excitement (finally a game for us!) the original holds a special place in my memory.I was generally better than all my friends, even those who were fans, and I played with Israel a lot. They with Brazil, or England, Germany, etc. Y. Schlomo and I could still beat all comers... most of them anyway.
