About This Game
Originally an arcade game ported to NES, notable for introducing the behind-the-quarterback perspective that became standard in football games.
Features four difficulty levels (College, Pro, Bowls, Super Bowl) and basic play selection (run/pass/kick) with limited defensive options.
Though primitive by modern standards, it was groundbreaking in 1985 for bringing authentic football strategy to home consoles.
