“EA Sports, it’s in the game. » It was in 1993/1994 that football fans and owners of a Mega Drive or a Super Nintendo could hear for the first time the historic slogan of Electronic Arts (EA) which then launched its first video game football: Fifa International Soccer.

At the time, this edition, which served as a trial balloon for EA, obviously had very little in common with its modern version. Only the national teams are available and the publisher does not have the rights to the names of the players to whom they sometimes give those of its employees. In the French team, one of the attackers is called neither Jean-Pierre Papin nor Eric Cantona but Marc Aubanel, the name of the… producer of the series from its beginnings until 2006.
