LCD Sports: American Football

A faithful homage to the Mattel handheld of 1977. There are some gameplay tweaks here as well as some concepts borrowed from Mattel's "Football 2" handheld but overall this is a lot of fun to play and if you enjoyed the original from the 70's you'll probably like this version too.

Cute game but the controller locks up on the computer opponents first series. Also there is no selection to pass/run like in the old coleco version. During the opponents first play, it just crashes and gives and error message. Hope the devs will fix it! I have received no response to my post about it on the discussion page. edit: The devs contacted me today with a response to the problem. They say they will look at it. It's good to know the devs care about such things!

GREAT... BUT... I'm not sure how to get in touch with the developer other than through this review. The game is awesome, up until the game-breaking error that spits code onto the screen every time the AI takes possession of the football. The game will cycle through a few frames of animation, and then crashes every time. This sucks because the game itself nails the nostalgia factor. But until that bug is fixed you only get about 1 minute of play until it tanks. As such, I can not recommend it at this time
