Incomplete This is a conversion of the game of the same name for the Spectrum by Argus Press. Inside comes a booklet which aims to give you a crash course in the rules, tactics and terminology of American Football but, fortunately, although interesting and useful if watching Channel 4, most of this can be ignored if you just want to get on with the game. On screen is a top down view of the pitch, or ‘the field' to those in the know, on which the teams run around in effective, if small, animation. Play is controlled by typing in your choice of tactic at any one time from the menu of defensive or offensive moves availsive or offensive moves available. Your opponent, which can be the 464, then decides upon their move and the computer works out the resulting action without, we are assured, cheating. I don't intend to precis the full rules here but if the offensive team doesn't get the ball more than ten yards down the field in four tries the ball passes to the other side. Initially very enjoyable as a sporting strategy/simulation, especially as a two player game, but ultimately there is not enough to it to merit top marks. Perhaps some sort of league table, as in Football Manager, would have greatly increased longevity of interest. The graphics are also too limited. I know it's not trying to be on a par with Commodore's International Soccer but at least they could have included a ball on the screen.
