Five-a-Side Soccer is an indoor football game. You can play it either against another players or alone against the computer opponent. The computer opponent has three difficulty levels, the lowest of which is challenging. In addition to the football game, you can also play a penalty shoot-out.

The game's graphic design is underwhelming, even for the time of its release. Nevertheless, the game is innovative in many ways. It features speech output. The fan chant "Here we go!" can be heard at every kick-off. The ability to foul or simulate penalty kicks was also absolutely groundbreaking at the time. These entertaining elements make up somewhat for the game's visual shortcomings and the difficulties of the controls. The fact that the credits of the game are displayed on the perimeter advertising is quite a funny detail.
