"11 years and still the best football game ever"

Well this game came out in 1991 I was 5 years old and I loved this game because my father bought a NES for Christmas and that was one of the first game that I got. The reason I think that this game is the best football game ever is because you got all the greatest players in the NFL i.e. Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Deion Sanders, Berry Sanders, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith and others.

Gameplay: this game is awesome game on the NES because it was the first real football game. I would take this game over Madden any day. The only part that is not cool about the gameplay is that there is only eight plays. But other then that the running game is simple when you find a hole its off to the races and when you got Bo or Berry its a sure touchdown. 9.5

Video: well as far as the video it is not Madden as I said but the graphics when this game came out in 1991 well they were the bomb. 10

Audio: the audio is average they got a cool intro theme. 7.5

Replayability: the replayability is when you beat season mode if you have about 5-7 hours of you day to go through the season because as you and everybody knows that there was no memory card back then so you can't save your season at week 7. But it's more fun beating your friends back then and now so them that you still can be the ruler of the field. 10

Buy: I think that this game out there is around $5.00 I think that it should be around that or through about $10.00 you weigh $49.99 for a Madden or a $5.00 game that has better stars in it. But if your not a NES fan and you think that it is too old for you then your kidding yourself go back to the roots of the football world and that is with this game

Final thoughts if you have a NES and you don't have this game and have $5.00 go and get this game it's worth $5.00
