About this game

Kick Off 3: European Challenge is a football game developed by Steve Screech for Anco as a sequel to Kick Off 2. Unlike earlier entries, it was made without lead programmer Dino Dini and introduced a horizontal pitch, resulting in significantly different gameplay.

The changes led to controversy upon release. The game was published by Vic Tokai and is available on Amiga, DOS, Sega Genesis, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
