J.League Fighting Soccer: The King of Ace Strikers is a soccer simulator game based on the popular J.League soccer tournaments in Japan. It was developed by Graphic Research and published by IGS. The player can choose from 12 teams and players from the J.League rosters.
The game was never released outside of Japan, presumably due to J.League not being well-known outside of Japan, but a majority of the game is in English, so players who can't understand Japanese shouldn't have too much of a problem playing the game.
Graphic Research later released J.League Winning Goal (GB), as well as porting the game to the Famicom.

Music
J.League Fighting Soccer features a soundtrack by Graphic Research's lead musician, Fumito Tamayama. The game consists of twelve tracks, an average amount for a 1992 Game Boy release. The music resembles Tamayama's familiar style, consisting of mostly driving rock tracks. There are three different in-game tunes; Game Theme 1, which plays during the first half of the game, Game Theme 2, which plays during the second half of the game, and finally, Game Theme 3, which plays once the timer reaches 0:59 seconds. The fidelity of the drums is pretty good, as the noise channel plays in conjunction with the triangle channel for more realistic-sounding drums.
Though Graphic Research also developed the Famicom version, that version has a completely different soundtrack, courtesy of Yoko Kawashima.
There are a few songs in the game that play two or more areas of the game; Lost plays during the Game Over screen, Game Start plays during the Change Court screen, and Miss plays at the Draw screen. The song titles are based on where they are first heard in the game.
Fumito Tamayama wrote the music in Music Macro Language into his version of Graphic Research's sound driver.
