Game summary
The true feeling of Arcade quality soccer is only achievable from Konami. Play a match with several selectable teams, and go against a friend!
A soccer game from Konami and part of their Exciting sports series for the Famicom Disk System.
Exciting Soccer is the fifth and final game in the Exciting sports series developed by Konami. It allows players to select (and rename, if they wish) a soccer team, each having their own set of strengths of weaknesses, and enter a tournament known as the Konami Cup.

Play Exciting Soccer: Konami Cup on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Exciting Soccer: Konami Cup on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
