    INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o

Known as American Football in Europe, this is one of the many games that uses a
sports icon's name to sell games related to the sport he was in though by this
point, Walter Payton had retired two years prior to this game coming out. Sadly,
he passed away in 1999. He was one of football's greatest players who could do
it all whether it was running, receiving, and even passing. I'm glad I got to
meet him before he died although I was 3 at the time I met him. He was a family
friend, may he rest in peace :(

      GAMEPLAY
o---------------------o

You start off by playing either a new game or entering a password. The password
system applies to Road to Super Bowl mode. Speaking of which, after choosing the
options of New Game/Password and a 1 or 2 player game. You choose if you want to
play a Monday Night Game (one game exhibition) or Road To Superbowl (tourney).
Running Time means that no matter what, the clock keeps running. Real Time means
that the clock stops during an incomplete pass or if a player goes out of bounds
on the play. In RTSB, if you win you advance to the next round and you will get
a password, if you lose then it's game over.

After choosing a team, choose your opponent. A coin toss occurs. Pick Heads or
Tails. Whoever wins will choose to receive first or kick off. Choosing kickoff
will make you receive the ball in the 2nd half.

Aside from calling a Timeout (T/O), Punt, or FG, you can choose one of 12 plays.
7 are runs (marked by a red a red line in the playbook) and the other 5 are the
passes.

-Each game has 4 quaters which are 5:00 or 15:00 long each. After 2 quaters, you
go to halftime and another kick off occurs. Whoever kicked off in the first
quarter, will receive the ball at the start of the third.

-Players can score 7 points by getting a touchdown which is making it to their
own end zone via offense like a pass or rush. You can also score a touchdown on
defense if you successfully intercept a pass. There seems to be no fumbles in
this game. Technically you score 6 points, but you get a 7th point for the PAT.

-Players can score 3 points by kicking a field goal successfully through the
uprights. It's not as easy as it looks. You must use the right amount of power
and the right amount of spin just like with kicking off. You get 3 points if
you succed.

-This is rare but you can also score 2 points for a safety. I say that this is
rare because you have to sack the quarterback or tackle the runner in the end
zone. Not only do you get 2 points but you receive possession of the ball via
kickoff.

-The most points after four quarters is a winner. If the score is tied at the
end of regulation. You go into sudden death overtime where the winner is the
first team to score. It will end in a tie if no one scores by the end of the
overtime period.

-The Codes section on GameFAQs says that if you choose a Bomb Pass play and run
with it, you will score a Touchdown everytime but that doesn't seem to work at
all with me.
