Jaleco Sports Goal! Hits GOG and Steam

Long Beach, CA. – June 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025 – Rock It™ Games today announced that it has brought back one of the most realistic soccer series from late 80's/early 90's Nintendo history - Jaleco Sports: Goal! which combines Goal! (Nintendo Entertainment System 1989) and Goal! (Super Nintendo 1992- known as "Super Goal!" in Europe). The two sports title combo will be available today at a 20% discount price for only $10.39 via GOG or Steam. Later this summer, the Jaleco Sports: Goal! combo pack will be available for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Before FIFA became the standard in soccer gaming, Goal! was celebrated as one of the most advanced and realistic soccer experiences of its time. The NES version features 16 international teams competing for the World Cup and 8 U.S. teams in a tournament format. It also includes a Shootout mode, where players attempt to score against defenders and a goalkeeper.

The SNES sequel, Super Goal!, expanded on the original with a side-scrolling field, 24 international teams, instant replays, and full-field radar views. It also introduced strategic options like four defensive formations and more player control.

“Jaleco Sports: Goal! is the second in a series of great sports games from the extensive Jaleco Sports catalog,” said Michael Devine, CEO and Managing Partner at Rock It Games. “These 8- and 16-bit games, now enhanced with modern features, absolutely deserve their place on today’s platforms—so fans can enjoy them for generations to come.”

About the Goal! Series

The Goal! series earned a reputation for its innovative approach to soccer simulation. Each team featured uniquely rated players across skills like dribbling, shooting, speed, defense, and ball control. The SNES version built on this foundation with enhanced graphics, new camera angles, and deeper gameplay mechanics.
