It was created in 1989 by Empire Interactive, and was named after the popular English footballer Paul Gascoigne. ^[1] It was also released in the Netherlands and Germany as Bodo Illgner's Super Soccer ^[2] and in Scandinavia as Anders Limpar's Proffs Fotboll.

The game was included in several sports games compilations, such as Soccer Mania ^[3] and Grandstand. ^[4] The game also had a sequel, named Gazza II . ^[5]

Gameplay

The game has no scroll. Instead, it has three different screens showing one third of the field each. In one the player gets a side view of the middle of the field. When the ball goes out of the screen, a new screen with the goal at its top is shown (the camera is "flying" over the middle of the field).

A triangle is used to indicate the height and side effect of each shot.^{[ citation needed ]}
