Welcome to this little page dedicated to my all-time favourite football game: "Dino Dini's Goal!"


There are two ways to play Goal! on a modern Windows XP system. You can run "Dino Dini's Soccer" in a Genesis/Megadrive emulator called Gens, this is a slightly updated version of the original Goal! and have netplay option through the emulator. Alternatively the MS-DOS version of Goal! can be played in a DOS emulator called DOSBox but there are some problems with loading and saving files/replays (at least on my system).


Emulator links:

GENS - Official Home Page - I recommend getting version 2.11 in the Download section
DOSBox, a x86 emulator with DOS - I recommend getting version 0.63 in the Downloads section, also works great with other old DOS games
