Trophy: Won an exhibition match
I decided that the best place to start would be near the beginning. My first proper console (that I owned, not my dad) was my NES, which I loved to pieces and still do. One of the early NES titles was Soccer, a really basic game with a cheery music track.
As the NES controller only has two buttons, there are only two things you can do with the ball: chip it or shoot it. Not quite Pro Evo.
As it's really basic, there are no Tournament or League modes in Soccer, so as the rules suggest I simply played and won an exhibition game, beating a generic, nationless "CPU" team 2-0 as GBR (who I'd assume are Great Britain... I chose them since Italy weren't in it).
Beating them was easy enough, though they did have a ruthless offside trap. As you can see in the video below, they caught me with it twice in a row before I unleashed a devastating shot from the edge of the box.
As the rules state, here is proof of the victory:
Not a bad wee start, if I do say so myself.
