World Class Rugby: Five Nations Edition

In World Class Rugby, players could experience the core aspects of rugby gameplay, from scrums and lineouts to exhilarating tries. The game featured a variety of international teams, each with their strengths and weaknesses, mirroring the diversity of the sport. Players could participate in friendly matches or compete in tournament modes, adding to the game's replayability. The game features squads from the 16 countries which qualified for the 1991 Rugby World Cup, as well as a Five Nations Tournament. Designed for one or two players in simultaneous hotseat mode, WCR offers several play modes including a friendly match, a league game, or the entire world cup tournament. Everything about the game is a sign of how it is a truly a labor of love designed by fans of the sport. You can configure a wide array of options, from the color of your team's shirts, to the length of a match (between 2 and 40 minutes), color of the pitch, and the difficulty level (ranging from 0 (easiest) to 6). Similar to any other good sport game, WCR allows you to change the line-up and peruse player's statistics. Think that guy doesn't have the stamina to be in the team? Replace him with someone else. On the pitch, the game really shines with excellent controls, smooth graphics, and a lot of detail.
