Juego Tecmo World Cup: -98

If you grew up in the late 90s, your football gaming memories are likely split into two clear eras: before FIFA 98: Road to the World Cup (with that iconic Blur soundtrack) and after . But lurking in the shadows of arcades and on the Sega Saturn/PlayStation shelves was a bizarre, brilliant alternative: Juego Tecmo World Cup ’98 .

And honestly? That’s way more fun than a 0-0 draw. Did you ever unlock the secret teams? Drop a comment below if you remember the code for the All-Star squad! Juego Tecmo World Cup -98

It also predicted the future of arcade sports games. You see its DNA in Mario Strikers Charged and Rocket League —games that prioritize "Did you see that?!" over "That was a disciplined defensive shape." Should you play it today? Only if you have a CRT TV, a six-pack of soda, and a friend who doesn't mind losing 11-8. If you grew up in the late 90s,

Tecmo World Cup ’98 isn't a great football game. It’s a great arcade game that happens to use a football. It’s loud, it’s unfair, and the ball is on fire. That’s way more fun than a 0-0 draw

    I live in Canada, was wondering about shipping across borders, isn’t there a large amount of information I should know about customs/duties?

    I am building my store buy i am scared that my website is very ugly. I am not a great designer. Will customers buy from an ugly website?

    • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Greg Elfrink says:

      You will be surprised. Many ugly sites outperform pretty sites. I would split test it. You might not have the money right now to turn an ugly store into a pretty store, but as you are building up your store, hunt down some designers that CAN turn your store into a beautiful design. Then when you are ready, pull the trigger, and see what happens.

    I have an online store set up and ready to go. I’ve contacted a few manufactured who said they already have partnerships with online stores. Before I contact another manufacture, I want to know if there are SPECIFIC items I should emphasize in my pitch to them. What do they want from me that will make them want their products sold in my online store?

    • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Greg Elfrink says:

      Hey Keith!

      One thing you might try is to find out WHY they formed the partnerships with those online stores. Do they have a big audience? Some kind of leverage you’re not thinking of? If so, you might be able to duplicate that offer to those manufacturers who would then be more then happy to work with you.

    Hi, I have a website created but having a hard time finding good suppliers (and relatively inexpensive) for volleyball equipment to ship within the US states.

    I like drop ship lifestyle business but i want to know it fees first

  • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Wes says:

    This was a great interview with Anton. I’m a member of Drop Ship Lifestyle, but this was the first time I had heard Anton say that he copies the supplier’s description first and then If the product gets traction he updates the description. Isn’t this risky because of a potential duplicate content penalty?

    • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Justin Cooke says:

      Hey Wes,

      Probably a bit of a risk/reward cost benefit analysis going on here. If the product’s a “hit” he’ll go back and build it out properly. If not, he can let it die.

      I think the worries about duplicate content get a bit overblown. Yes, if your entire site or article is an exact copy that’s not good – but copying product descriptions isn’t as risky as some think? Interested to hear Anton’s thoughts here.

  • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Brent Z says:

    Absolutely outstanding episode! Great questions and high-value content. Anton is a trustworthy and knowledgeable guy I’d love to learn from. I finished listening only minutes ago and feel lightheaded thanks to all the ideas and exciting potential. I’m checking out the quickstart guide on his site now and will pull the trigger early next month ( It looks like I missed the Christmas sale by 11 minutes! – can’t win em all)

    I fit into one of the categories of people mentioned at the end of the episode. I’ve come to a point in my life where I have one overall goal and need a way to accomplish it – a lifestyle biz with a specific aim. All of the components are in place and its on me to boldly take action.

    Thanks Justin and Joe for this stellar episode, you guys continue to knock it outta the park.

    PS the site redesign is nice too : )

    • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Justin Cooke says:

      Hey Brent,

      Glad you got so much value out of this one, man!

      I really think dropship sites are a good way to get started and Anton’s approach is extremely clear and relatively “easy” to follow. There’s plenty of work to do and a learning curve, but it’s not brain surgery and Anton does a great job of simplifying the process overall.

  • Juego Tecmo World Cup -98 Odell says:

    Show 121 was awesome, awesome, awesome! Your conversation with Anton got me thinking not only about drop shipping but many other business areas. Epic episode!
