Game PlayAfter the coin toss, you would select your play from the playbook. Once both the offense and defense selected their plays, the videodisc would take over and show scenes from the game to match the plays that were chosen.MiscellaneousThis game used live footage from a Raiders / Chargers football game. There was also an upgrade to the game that used footage from a Dallas / Redskins game. For each play selection, there were eight possible filmed segments, each having two different soundtracks for a total of over 800 different video combinations. There was a similar laser disc version of this game that was created for the Halcyon System.SEE ALSO: http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/pages/nfl.asp VAPS Arcade/Coin-Op NFL Football CensusThere are 9,068 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 7,460 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.

TechnicalCPU: Z80This game follows the standard MCRIII board set wiring (e.g. Discs Of Tron, Journey), but it requires two additional board sets: a Squawk & Talk MCRII and a I.P.U. board. TriviaThis was the first arcade game that had the option to include a paper dollar bill acceptor.FixesThe most common problem with these games is the disc player. It uses a needle to read the discs which is prone to damage. If you can find one, replace the needle and this change will more often then not solve your problem.Another common problem is a worn out function motor drive belt, which is evident if the player will not unload the disc from the caddy or if the player makes a constant whirling sound when powered up, with the access door failing to open.
