This is one of those games which illustrate how much the world has changed in the last 30 years. How much people and their habits have changed. I got European Soccer Challenge as a gift. There were two ways it could go with gift-givers of an older generation when it came to computer games. First, clearly preferred by the potential recipients, they could be asked for a wish list. Second, something would just be bought. Based on… game theme and cover presumably. So me and my brothers found ourselves the lucky owners of a copy of this game.
