The title screen displays "INDOOR SOCCER" in large, multi-colored pixelated text with a red outline against a black background. Below the title, white text reads "INSERT COIN" followed by "1 COIN 1 PLAY" on separate lines. At the bottom of the screen, red text identifies the publisher as "UNIVERSAL" with a copyright mark. The overall design uses a simple arcade aesthetic with bright primary colors and blocky pixel-based typography typical of 1985 arcade cabinets.

Indoor Soccer is a 1985 arcade sports game developed by Universal. Players control a team in a fast-paced indoor soccer match, competing against either the CPU or a second player in two-player mode. The game takes place on an enclosed indoor pitch, with walls keeping the ball in play and maintaining constant action. Players use the joystick to move their controlled athlete and buttons to pass and shoot. The game emphasizes quick reflexes and positioning as players switch control between teammates to advance the ball and score goals. Matches are time-limited, and the team with the most goals at the end wins. The two-player competitive mode allows head-to-head matchups on a single cabinet.
