TV Sports Football
SCORE: 60
When my dad and I played TV Sports Football on the Turbografx-16 I hoped for a cool retro game of football. Instead I found a nearly unplayable game where it was better to let the computer take control of the game. I had to fight with the game to get control of the quarterback. For some odd reason the QB would not always pass when I told him to. Other times the game would decide to run on what was previously a pass.
If you saw our video capture of our game of TV Sports Football then you can guess I was the losing team. I had to claw my way back to even make the game close. I have had frustrating games of Madden before, but never due to the computer taking over for me, and over throwing a wide open receiver. How many touchdowns would I have had if he had hit the receiver?
Running is painful in TV Sports Football. Sometimes holes open up, but usually running around the corner is the best shot. Graphically TV Sports Football looks good for its era. The sounds and voices are also decent for the era. TV Sports Football is more like watching a sim of a football game than actually participating. It was quite the experience to play this game on the Turbografx-16.
