Pelé's Soccer is an Atari 2600 game based on the famous footballer Pelé, and published in 1980. It features realistic, for the time, ball-handing and goal-keeping techniques using the Atari joystick.

Gameplay

Each team has one forward, two defenders, and a goalkeeper on the field at all times.[2] The player's goalkeeper is always controlled by the computer unless they save a shot.[2] Each game consists of two halves of various time lengths (depending on the game settings being used).[2] All the forwards and backs run in their proper formation.[2] There are 54 different game variations (27 single-player and 27 multiplayer) that allow for different speeds, game lengths, and goal sizes.[3]
