Overview
J.League Pro Striker is a 1993 soccer game released for Mega Drive developed and published by Sega. It is one of the earliest official games of the J.League, Japan's equivalent of the UK Premier League, and the first in Sega's J.League Pro Striker franchise. It features all ten teams that were active in the J.League for its first official competition in 1993. It has options for a single exhibition game ("Play Match"), a cup mode, and a league mode. Like many soccer games of the era it uses a vertically-oriented viewpoint of the pitch.
The game featured a bug which required all copies to be recalled and a new version to be released, so although the game's first launch was in April 1993 its official release was in June of that same year. The game would see another revision, J.League Pro Striker Kanzenban (a.k.a. J.League Pro Striker Perfect), the December of that year followed by a sequel, J.League Pro Striker '94, the subsequent year.
