jpfalcon2003 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This game is a game that i didn't get with the rest of the 7800 carts i grew up with. I acquired this one recently to get the few remaining i needed to make my 7800 complete. I was impressed with the screenshots and graphics I seen till I opened it up and played it. The gameplay is absolutely terrible and the animation is very slow and choppy. Was this game even tested before it was sent out the door? The game sounds are awful too and they really should have omitted the chearleader all together. I had no idea what the hell that even was.lol I was expecting this one to be better than the football titles released for the 2600. I have to give it better than the original Football game, but not by much.lol The original Football game I never played, but after i seen the screenshots of it, I wouldn't be able to play it and control my laughter. I did play the 2600 Realsports Football game, and it was decent. Not a bad game. The flicker bothered me occasionally but it was nicely playable. 2600 Super Football is totally an awesome game. Not only were the graphics outstanding, the gameplay was as well. I liked the whole 3-D look effect. I'm not to much of a sports playing game, but really had alot of fun with this one. In my eyes, it was far superior to the Touchdown Football for the 7800 system. 5200 Super Football I never played, so if someone has, I'd like to know someone's opinion on it. Overall so far I found 2600 Super Fotball to be the best Football game for the Atari systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Boy, you are right... TD Football blows. But that didn't stop me from doing this awhile ago... http://flipsiderunner.com/7800/tdc.html Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
else Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) How about putting this in the Atari 7800 forum? Edited April 17, 2006 by else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I second that opinion, it does blow goats. Shame because there is no other real alternative and it looks great till it moves. I'll also stick to the awesome Super Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) It blows bad as a game. It is debateable if it is the worst sports games in the 7800 though. Most of the 7800 sports games I own suck monkey crap and got them as christmas presents as a kid. Edited April 17, 2006 by 8th lutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you look on the scoreboard it looks like each team should have timeouts but I can't figure out how to get them to work if they exist. Kicking a field goal is impossible too and I can only seem to get the qb to throw to the guy at the bottom of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Not that this make the game any more fun, but timeouts are controlled with the difficulty switches, and to throw to the top WR you have to push up on the joystick. CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 theres a trick Iused to do on this game to get a touch down. If remember corectly it was at kick off after you catch the ball and wait a bit then run you can get the computer team to bunch up so you can run all the way for the TD. the music on the game reminded of circus music.
