"Have you studied the eight offensive plays and the eight defensive plays? Are you ready to go out on the gridiron to test your football skills against your opponent for four grueling quarters?

Two players compete in a football game with six men per team. There are 8 offensive plays and 8 defensive plays with the game contestants able to control their feature running, passing, sweeps, field goals, and punting. Defensive plays feature linebacker blitzing and pass defense."

Pro Football is a nice little American Football game, largely inspired by [Atari Football](/software/atari-football/) (1978). It's a two player only game, no possibility to play against the system.
