What American Football is

American Football is a sport game developed by UA Limited and released in 1982. It was published by Emerson Radio. It is available on Arcadia 2001 only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

American Football is a sports simulation game for two players only. The action starts with a kick-off, after which the side receiving the ball tries to run down the field avoiding being tackled by the defensive team. The offensive team runs interference. The ball may be passed between players, or kicked towards the goal line. After a tackle, the offensive team goes into a huddle, a "play" is picked, and the quarterback receives the ball and tries once again to break through the defensive line. During play, the team members can all be moved at once, or individuals may be moved separately.
