Computer Football Strategy (also known as Football Strategy[2]) is a 1983 computer game that simulates the National Football League from a strategic point of view. It was developed for the Commodore 64[2] and the Atari 8-bit family/[3] Many retired professional football players have been noted to be content while recapturing their former heroics on this computer game.[4]
Gameplay[edit]
The basic choice of teams span from the 1966 Green Bay Packers (the winners of Super Bowl I) to the 1982 Washington Redskins (the winners of Super Bowl XVII - the most recent Super Bowl as of the game's release). The game uses a top-down perspective in order to properly simulate the football field. The game shows the football field as a small, thin strip divided into ten-yard lines.[5] Four basic graphics (the blue players playing the role as the defense and the black players playing the role as the offense) are considered to be 'simulated American football players.[5]' A notable criticism of the game is that having X's and O's would have been more realistic (because coaches use these in real-life football to write playbooks for the team players).[5]
Twenty different plays can be called from the line of scrimmage with ten different outcomes depending on the defensive alignment.[5] The display shows a minimal coverage of the action; with no movement by either the quarterback or the wide receivers.[5] A complete lack of 'hurry-up' offences means that each pass takes 15 seconds of game time to complete.[5]
Reception[edit]
Football Strategy was a runner up in the category of 'Best Computer Sports Game' at the 4th annual Arkie Awards.[6]:33

Best Football Games On Computer
Often referred to as 'the beautiful game', football (or soccer - take your pick) offers up a seemingly never-ending supply of excitement, mystery and surprise. Leicester City winning England's Premier League recently went down as one of the biggest shocks in sporting history, and who could've predicted the USA team's coming of age at the 2014 World Cup?
As computer graphics have improved, so have football games. They were fairly primitive in the early days, starting out as top-down viewed DOS classics such as Sensible World of Soccer before evolving into 3D efforts in the vein of Actua Soccer.
Of course, the FIFA series has been around since the 90s and its rivalry Pro Evolution Soccer throughout the years has proved more fierce than the one between Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira. Refreshingly, a number of football games are cropping up that approach the sport from a new perspective, with many available to download on Steam. Google play store apk free download for laptop.
Like the most cunning foxes in boxes, we take a look at the best of them.
