Shawn Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm gonna brab Santa Simon for sure. Only thing I noticed is that Santa has no eyes! (or maybe they are just closed I guess ) Anyhow Santa Simon looks very unique and I think it's a must have for sure from the looks of things.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Could anybody please explain Blip Football to someone who has only basic knowledge of American football? I looked at the screenshots, but I hardly got any idea about the gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Could anybody please explain Blip Football to someone who has only basic knowledge of American football? I looked at the screenshots, but I hardly got any idea about the gameplay. Screenshots of BLiP Football will only make sense to those who have played the original electronic football it's based on. It's a pretty primitive version of "American football". Here's a brief description from the Wikipedia article on the subject: American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football, is a competitive team sport. The object of the game is to score points by advancing the football into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying the ball, or by throwing or handing it from one teammate to the other. Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the goal line, throwing the ball to another player past the goal line or kicking it through the goal posts on the opposing side. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires and the last play ends. However, tied games can occur if the score remains tied after the conclusion of an overtime period. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the screenshots, but I hardly got any idea about the gameplay. you try to get your man (the blip you control) to the other end of the field. By moving up down and right (not sure if left is possible in this version. Some older handheld blip games only allowed movement to the right). If you were not quick enough with moving your blip you would get tackeld. The other blips are trying to stop you from scoring. Al beat me to it. I also found this on the net: Link to Mattel Football Info Edited December 13, 2006 by jay2068 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "field" is three pixels tall. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my problem, I suppose. It's one of those, right? I do understand American football well enough to follow a game (actually I even watched a few games of NFL-Europe live in the stadium). BTW: Is the binary going to be released soon? Edited December 13, 2006 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
