Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
Matches use an angled top-down view. The player controls one footballer at a time while the game switches control to the teammate nearest the ball. The main objectives are to create chances, score more goals than the opponent, and defend without conceding.
Players can pass, shoot, tackle, change controlled players, and use set pieces. The game includes exhibition-style matches and competition play, with progression determined by results in the selected tournament or league structure. Team selection, formations, and match tactics affect how each side approaches play.
Plan your run
Use short passes to move the defense before attempting a through ball or shot. Keeping possession in midfield is safer than repeatedly forcing long forward passes.
Defend by containing the ball carrier and switching to the nearest useful player. In the final third, shoot only after creating space; rushed shots from poor angles are easy for the goalkeeper to handle.
Before you begin
Use controlled passing to avoid losing possession in crowded midfield areas.
Change the selected player early when tracking runs behind the defense.
Aim attacks toward open space rather than always passing directly toward goal.
FIFA 96 is a football simulation developed by Extended Play Productions and published by EA Sports for DOS in 1995. It presents international and club-style football with a large roster of national teams, licensed-style presentation, and tournament-focused play. Matches are viewed from an angled overhead perspective, with emphasis on passing, positioning, shooting, and defensive timing rather than arcade-only action. The DOS edition belongs to the early period when the FIFA series was expanding its tactical options and presentation across home computers. Its reception was generally positive for its accessible controls, authentic atmosphere, and breadth of teams, although the DOS version naturally has simpler audiovisual features than later console releases.
