Computer and Video Games magazine reported in its supplement Hand-Held Go! in May 1992 that Krysalis were developing an Atari Lynx version of the game.[2] They released this version under the title European Soccer Challenge.[3]
The Atari Lynx version of the game (European Soccer Challenge) was being converted and planned to be published by Telegames for the Atari Jaguar and was first announced in 1994,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] with plans to be released later in the year but was rescheduled to be published around the second quarter of 1995, but this port was never released for unknown reasons.[11][12][13]
Computer and Video Games magazine reviewed the game for the Amiga in their August 1991 issue giving it a score of 84 out of 100.[1] The Atari Lynx port was reviewed by Robert A Jung for IGN, and gave it 8 out of 10, commending its sophisticated gameplay, design, "crisp" controls, and graphics.[14]
