Although the gameplay is very simple (just eight directions and one fire button needed) a large variety of context sensitive actions can be performed easily without any predefined keys.
In 2007 Henry Lowood, Curator for History of Science and Technology Collections in the Stanford University together with game designers Warren Spector and Steve Meretzky, researcher Matteo Bittanti and journalist Christopher Grant compiled a definitive list of "the ten most important video games of all time". This list included Sensible World of Soccer alongside such groundbreaking titles as Spacewar, Tetris, SimCity and Doom. Sensible World of Soccer's inclusion in this list is notable on three accounts:- it is the only game in the list developed in Europe, it is the only sports game in the list, it is the most recent game in the list.
