10-Yard Fight

10-Yard Fight was originally an American football based coin-operated arcade game converted for play on the NES. Developed by Irem and published by Nintendo, it was released in October of 1985.

The player does not select plays for either offense or defense. On offense, simply receive the ball upon the snap and either attempt to run with the quarterback, toss the ball to one of two running backs, or throw the ball to the one long distance receiver. On defense, the player chooses one of two players to control, and the computer manipulates the others. The ball can also be punted or a field goal can be attempted.

The game has a top-down perspective and is vertical scrolling. Its primitive graphics and watered-down nature made it both addictively easy and frustratingly simplistic.
