A tactical coaching sim, you call the play for your team and the computer tries to second guess you.
I sunk hours into this in 1984, calling for a Shotgun pass and then watching my stickman quarterback try and complete the pass or playing the risky Bomb in the last minute.
Plenty of tactical fun to be had here with a slight question mark hanging over how much of the game was based on genuine liklihood of a move coming off, and how much fate played a fickle part, but I guess in that respect the game reflects the reality of touchline frustration in sports fans and coaches all over the world.
