Santulli Slant: Like the Dallas Cowboys, it's either love or hate here. Looks like football but it's really all about breaking tackles. In the arcade you did that by jerking the stick left and right. Imagine attempting to do that on a standard NES joypad. Actually, even a joystick doesn't help much; the gameplay is frustratingly simplistic. More aggravation: you can be intercepted by an opponent just one pixel away, when you're passing to a man way downfield! Memories of Joe Pisarcik abound. [Gr: 4, So: 3, Ga: 3, Ov: 3]
Back-of-the-box text: You're the quarterback in this amazingly real football game! Enjoy realistic grid-iron action as you move your team up and down the field to victory! Run, pass, kick, punt - you call the plays in this true to life football game. Play against the computer, or against a friend, for hours of real football action. The sights, the sounds and the plays are so real, you'll think you're right on the fifty yard line.
Periodical's review: Received honorable mention "Best Sports Video Game of 1988" by VG&CE Magazine.
