Virtua Striker[a] is a series of association football sports video games released by Sega for arcades. Originally developed by Sega AM2 from 1994 to 1999, the series moved to Amusement Vision with Virtua Striker 3, but it later moved to Sega Sports Design R&D Dept. with Virtua Striker 4.
The original Virtua Striker, released in 1994, was the first association football game to use 3D computer graphics, and was also notable for its early use of texture mapping,[1] along with Sega's own racing video game Daytona USA.[2] Sega advertised the game as "the first three-dimensional computer graphic soccer game".[3]
Only two games in the series have been released on home consoles - Virtua Striker 2 (ver. 2000.1) for the Sega Dreamcast, and Virtua Striker 3 (ver. 2002) for the GameCube.
