About Rugby World Cup 95

Rugby World Cup 95 is the officially licensed video game adaptation of the 1995 international rugby union tournament hosted in South Africa. Its roster encompasses the twenty national sides that participated in the event, such as New Zealand's All Blacks and the host nation's Springboks, supplemented by an EA All Stars selection and several additional smaller rugby-playing countries.

The game's interface and structure closely resemble the contemporary FIFA soccer titles from the same publisher, EA Sports. Menus provide access to both arcade and simulation style matches, along with settings that allow adjustments to weather conditions and the hardness of the playing surface.

From a visual standpoint, matches are presented using an isometric camera view. Core actions like passing and kicking are mapped to dedicated buttons, while set-piece kicks at goal employ a timing-based power meter system.
