International Superstar Soccer Pro 98 was and still is one of my favourite football games.
One of the subtleties of the game was that due to naming rights the official player names could not be used. So, this is where artistic license came in and their were alternative player names.
So this is where we grew to love that deadly Brazilian duo of Romedio and Ronarid.
