_________________________

In John Elway's Quarterback, it's one player vs. the computer or two human players going head-to-head in single-game American football action. Select your team's home city (there is no NFL or NFLPA license, so there are no real teams or players) and then battle the opposing team for four 15-minute (accelerated real-time) quarters. Graphics are simple: one team has blue uniforms, the other team red ones. The human player gets control of the quarterback on offense and the middle linebacker on defense. The play perspective is top-down and vertical-scrolling. Choose from 9 offensive--mostly passing--plays and 6 defensive plays. Teams have 9 players each.

Description from the packaging:

Football the way it was meant to be played.
Third and ten on your own 30 yard line. Forty-three seconds left on the clock and you're down by two points. Suddenly the end zone seems to be a hundred miles away. If you're going to be a hero, now's the time. You call the play.

"Yellow-nineteen! Yellow-nineteen! Hut! Hut! Hut!!!" The ball is snapped. There's a crunch of armor on the front line and you drop back. You look for a receiver but the blitz is on. Roll to the right- you keep dancing, you look for an opening but your blockers are starting to crumble. Keep pedaling back...you're in trouble now, you're too deep. But wait! You spot an open man downfield! You cock back, ready to fire when suddenly an ugly looking tackle is all over you. Do you try and throw? Or duck and run!
Football action so real you can almost feel the pigskin in your hands. Designed under the watchful eyes of the game's premier quarterback- John Elway- this faithful computer version of the #1 arcade winner brings all of the strategy and ground pounding excitement of the world's greatest sport right to your computer screen. For one or two players.
