Hard to believe I know. I have actually posted about it in at least one thread, maybe a couple, about NES games we like that most regard as crappy. I played goalkeeper and was really into soccer growing up. The video store I went to regularly didn't have it, but there was another store we went to occassionally that did, so it was like a special treat getting to rent it. The players take up the whole screen and the animation was really cool for a NES game. Raising the players skill and their unique shots were also enchanting. It felt a lot more involved than a typical sports game. Its also the only one I played back then where the keeper isn't either on auto, or you have the option but the only way to be competive is to select auto. It probably helped that I didn't ever really realize that as an RPG, random chance plays a role. I try to put that out of my mind when I play now.
The other games our secondary video game rental shop had that the other didn't that I remember renting a lot were Hoops and Ninja Crusaders. I really like those to this day too, so maybe its all just nostalgia.
