TV Sports Football

Thirty-two! Eighteen! Twenty-six! Hut! Hut!! To those of you in the know, that's a cry often heard by fans of American Football. You won't hear it in the C64 conversion of the classic Amiga title, but you do get some hard and fast footy, complete with a pre-game commentator to give you the lowdown on exactly who is doing what and where.

There's actually very little different between C64 TV Sports Football and its 16-bit father. Graphically, it's superb, with lots of animation screens such as the flip of the coin at the start, the "talking" TV front-man, and the like.

The main game too has been well programmed, although I would have liked more time to plan a move than the computer actually allows. Generally though, a fine conversion of a great game (if Grid Iron is your thing, that is).

C64

A first rate American Football sim made even better by the inclusion of superlative graphics throughout.
