《天使之翼》（キャプテン翼，Captain Tsubasa）是於1988年由Tecmo（後來的Koei Tecmo）發行的紅白機（Famicom）遊戲。改編自高橋陽一創作的同名漫畫《天使之翼/足球小將》（Captain Tsubasa），並深刻體現原作中足球的動感和劇情。在當時的平台上引入具有創新性的遊戲設計，並且成功地捕捉到原作中的精髓，成為深受玩家喜愛的經典遊戲。

劇情依照漫畫進行，主角大空翼（Tsubasa Ozora）以及他的隊友，從小學時期開始，一直到進入職業足球的過程。在遊戲開始時，將經歷大空翼在小學時與許多隊友參加校際比賽的情節，而隨著之後的進展，將面對更具挑戰的對手，並經歷他們逐漸成長的過程。除大空翼，其他經典角色如岬太郎（Taro Misaki）、若林源三（Genzo Wakabayashi）、日向小次郎（Kojiro Hyuga）等，亦在遊戲中登場。

故事的核心是大空翼和他的隊友們，在足球場上展現出精湛的技術與團隊合作，最終朝向世界足球賽奮鬥的過程。涵蓋漫畫中數個重要的比賽和情節，如大空翼對抗日向小次郎的決鬥、與10個國家(阿根廷、西班牙、波蘭、英國、烏拉圭、義大利、比利時、葡萄牙、加拿大、馬來西亞)的比賽等，並且將這些比賽的緊張與刺激感展現得淋漓盡致。前四場比賽會由電腦隨機挑選，最強的隊伍分別為阿根廷、義大利及烏拉圭。第六場會是法國，第七場則是西德。

採用當時FC平台上典型的橫向滾動式操作。操作方式相對簡單，主要控制大空翼或其他球員，在球場上進行進攻、傳球、射門以及防守等動作。控制主要依賴於D-pad（方向鍵）來移動球員，A和B按鈕則用來執行不同的動作，例如傳球、射門和挑戰對手。

最大特色是它所融入的“超技”元素。球員們擁有許多特殊的技能和超級技術，例如大空翼的“衝力射球”、岬太郎的“高飛傳球”以及日向小次郎的“猛虎射球”。這些技能成為一大亮點，在比賽中選擇適當的時機使用這些技能來取得優勢，打敗對手。每個球員的技能有著不同的效果，並且會隨著比賽的進行逐漸增強，享受到不斷升級的樂趣。此外，關卡設計也十分具有挑戰性。在比賽中操作自己的球隊進行戰術佈局，選擇進攻或防守策略，並且與對手球隊進行對抗。每場比賽結束後，根據球隊的表現，會有不同的結果，這些結果將影響故事的進展。

關卡設計充滿漫畫中的經典場景和比賽。經歷小學到國際賽事的各種比賽，其中包括球場上與日向小次郎、岬太郎等經典角色的對決。這些比賽不僅注重技巧的較量，還強調策略與配合，必須根據對方的特點調整自己的戰術。每場比賽都有不同的挑戰和敵人，並且隨著遊戲進程逐漸增加難度。隨著球隊的實力提升，將面對更強大的對手，這些對手擁有更高的技術和超技能，增加整體的挑戰性和重玩價值。關卡設計充滿緊張感，特別是在面對決勝的時刻，要在短時間內做出關鍵的戰術決策。FC畫面與GAMEBOY版類似，有KICK OFF及接關兩種模式，進入KICK OFF開始用故事模式進行遊戲，接關則是需要打日文密碼。

自發售以來，受到廣泛的好評。作為基於經典漫畫改編的遊戲，成功地捕捉原作中的熱血氛圍，並將其轉化為富有挑戰性和娛樂性的比賽。許多玩家對於超技系統表示讚賞，這些技能讓比賽變得更加有趣和充滿變數。畫面雖然受到當時技術的限制，但以FC的硬體來說，表現已經相當出色。球場上的動作流暢，角色的動作設計也很具特色，尤其是在進行射門和技能使用時，能夠讓玩家感受到強烈的臨場感。然而，也有部分批評聲音指出，過關的難度較高，對於初學者來說，可能需要花較長時間來熟悉指令操作和策略。此外，節奏相對單一，可能讓長時間遊玩的玩家感到些許重複。

總體而言，這是將動漫熱血精神完美呈現的遊戲，不僅吸引大量的《天使之翼/足球小將》粉絲，也為非粉絲玩家帶來富有挑戰的足球體驗。對於喜愛運動遊戲和《天使之翼/足球小將》的玩家來說，這是不容錯過的經典之作。

"Captain Tsubasa" (キャプテン翼, Captain Tsubasa) is a Famicom game released in 1988 by Tecmo (later Koei Tecmo). It is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, "Captain Tsubasa", created by Yoichi Takahashi, and vividly reflects the dynamic football action and storyline of the original work. The game introduced innovative design for its time and successfully captured the essence of the manga, becoming a beloved classic among players.

The storyline follows the manga, focusing on the protagonist Tsubasa Ozora and his teammates from elementary school to professional football. At the start of the game, players experience Tsubasa's elementary school days and his participation in inter-school tournaments with his friends. As the story progresses, tougher opponents appear, reflecting the characters' growth. In addition to Tsubasa, iconic characters such as Taro Misaki, Genzo Wakabayashi, and Kojiro Hyuga also make appearances.

The core of the story revolves around Tsubasa and his teammates showcasing their skills and teamwork on the football field, striving towards the world stage. The game covers several key matches and events from the manga, including Tsubasa's rivalry with Kojiro Hyuga and matches against teams from 10 countries (Argentina, Spain, Poland, England, Uruguay, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Canada, and Malaysia). The tension and excitement of these matches are vividly depicted. The first four matches are randomly selected by the computer, with the strongest teams being Argentina, Italy, and Uruguay. The sixth match is against France, and the seventh against West Germany.

The gameplay features a side-scrolling format typical of the FC platform at the time. The controls are simple, allowing players to manage Tsubasa or other characters to attack, pass, shoot, and defend. Movement relies on the D-pad, while the A and B buttons execute various actions such as passing, shooting, or challenging opponents.

A key feature of the game is the inclusion of “super techniques”. Players possess special skills and powerful techniques, such as Tsubasa’s “Flying Drive Shot”, Misaki’s “Phantom Pass”, and Hyuga’s “Tiger Shot”. These techniques add excitement to the matches, allowing players to gain an advantage by using them at the right moment. Each player’s abilities grow stronger throughout the game, enhancing the experience of progressing and leveling up.

The game’s stages are also highly challenging. Players must manage their teams, devise strategies, and choose between offensive and defensive tactics during matches. The results of each match affect the progression of the story.

The stage design incorporates iconic scenes and matches from the manga, from elementary school to international tournaments, including face-offs with classic characters like Hyuga and Misaki. The gameplay emphasizes not only skill but also strategy and coordination, requiring players to adjust their tactics based on the opponent's strengths.

Each match presents unique challenges and adversaries, with the difficulty increasing as the game progresses. As the team grows stronger, they face more formidable opponents with superior skills and special techniques, adding to the game’s overall difficulty and replay value. The matches are filled with tension, requiring players to make crucial tactical decisions in critical moments. The graphics, similar to the Game Boy version, offer two modes: KICK OFF (story mode) and a password continuation system in Japanese.

Since its release, the game has received widespread acclaim. As a game adapted from a classic manga, it successfully captures the passionate spirit of the original, transforming it into a challenging and entertaining football experience. Many players praised the super technique system, which adds excitement and unpredictability to the matches.

Despite hardware limitations at the time, the graphics and performance were impressive for the FC. The smooth character animations and distinctive designs, especially during shots and special moves, immerse players in the action. However, some criticisms point to the game's high difficulty, which may require beginners to spend considerable time mastering the controls and strategies. Additionally, the repetitive gameplay may feel monotonous for long sessions.

Overall, "Captain Tsubasa" is a game that perfectly embodies the spirit of the anime and manga. It not only captivates fans of "Captain Tsubasa" but also offers a challenging and engaging football experience for general players. For sports game enthusiasts and "Captain Tsubasa" fans, this is a classic title not to be missed.
