Star Bowl Football

What happens when the season ends? If snow on the order of the strength of the local football pitch and bowling the latter are decidedly not, you should spend the rest of their weekends in winter; sweep clean the garage or the attic? No... Not if you're lucky to have an Atari computer and a small program and the main attraction of the game are called BOWL FOOTBALL STAR Inc. (SF). Limber his pitching arm, football fans football is still time!


SF is a sports program that was established in 1982 to life but has only recently attracted the attention of the media. The general lack of good sports games for the Atari makes this program particularly attractive because it is one of the best football programs for the Atari is currently on the market. Although many types of computer games can afford to be visually summarize, we expect a sports game to reality as close as possible to reflect. In this sense, the bill SF fits very well. It is visually packed with nice features like a green field; garden center is out of ten, five and one yard intervals appropriate to the end zone, posts and markings of the court.

Soccer players are pretty well designed and well animated. The sounds are a pair of college fight songs, see some of the "Star-Spangled Banner, referee whistles, crowd roar to the sound of kicking the ball.

In general, assume that the assessment of fees on the average, and I will be pleasantly satisfied, we even hard on us At Arians. Well, what the game looks good. But what the game is playing? First, SF is easy to play. Despite the claims of 196 different combinations of games to choose to have really only offers a choice of four rooms and three pieces go on the attack, and the same number of counter-play defense. This may seem not much; it serves to move the game at a rapid pace to keep. So, to understand just a few minutes, the game instructions easy to study, you need to manage his team of John Madden, who is himself so the game is not easy to master.

It takes a combination of strategy and timetable to score. You have more success against a human opponent against the computer because the computer opponent is too powerful to be very useful even for practice. (For example, in a typical game against the computer, one of my friends threw in the towel after the score had reached 100-0. However, to say the game designers of the same team, so it may be a question of endurance).

Besides one or two player mode to play, you can choose between two different skills or College Pro Select. I would say at the universities at first, but the level of Pro offers even more fun when you've mastered the basics of the game in San Francisco, the action takes place horizontally in a football field, which is only about 35 meters visible at any given time. The TV screen switches automatically to the length of the field on the play of the teams and the power to pursue.

As in real football, is the task of science fiction, "the score of a rival with notes, field goal or safety equipment? In attempting to do this, you must learn to live with the game clock, the clock 30 seconds, interceptions, fumbles and to cope with sanctions. The competition is controlled by the remote control, including play selection. There are six men on each team, one that the ball carrier on offense, safety and self defense controls. The computer, the movement of other men. However you get the approval of the program templates for each receptor and assignments of the offensive line and pass blocks covering of the rear corner and the allocation of land to the defensive line.

Once the ball is lifted, the back rooms able to run or walk the ball provided to a recipient, you have already (secretly) known eligible. The quarterback or free safety bombardment can stay back and try to intercept / to fight against the driver. At the end of a passport, you need to get on the trigger at the moment the ball to the receiver.

This area is a bit of practice to be so patient! (However, if the recipient is assured, the cervix falls incomplete). Run to each person in the exercise of the ball, even his own master, the entry, which can sometimes into a fumble an automated billing in turn lead to. However, eliminating a touchdown and the man a little victory dance in the area around the device "in-your-face" to a hit! The search for a fairly accurate simulation and visually attractive game of football is to look safe, with the SF. The largest deficits with the computer found in the size and plays hard, and perhaps unrealistic in the over expression of the card instead of the race. Overall, however, I recommend this game to everyone with a friend who is looking for an excuse to avoid that the garage is clean next weekend.
