10-Yard Fight
About the Game
10-Yard Fight is a simple arcade game based on American football. One player can play against the computer or a second player head-to-head matchup and can choose between five levels of difficulty (high school, college, pro, playoffs, and Super Bowl). If you win a game at a lower difficulty level, the following game is automatically played at the next highest difficulty level. At its core, the gameplay is top-down and vertical-scrolling.
Gameplay & Core Systems
There are no plays or formations to select from before the action begins; players can take the snap as quarterback or choose one of two players on defense. On offense, players can either keep the ball on the run, toss it to one of the two running backs, or throw long to the receiver; an interception turns the ball over to the other team. If a touchdown can't be scored, then the directional kicking system can be used to punt the ball or try for a field goal. While the US version plays like a traditional American Football game, the gameplay was altered for the Japanese version. The main idea of the Japanese version of this game is that players take control of a football team and have the task of trying to score a touchdown before the clock runs out.
Standout Features
- Players can score points for completing passes and for gaining yards by either rushing or passing.
- Also after a touchdown, players can add on to their score by kicking an extra point.
- Players start out as a high school team.
- One touchdown must be scored before time runs out in each half or the game is lost.
- If players scores in both halves, they win the game, and then move on to the next level of difficulty.
- Difficulty levels after high school go from college, pro, then to super.
- The higher the difficulty, the less amount of time is given for a player to score a touchdown.
- Since the game is concerned with scoring touchdowns, in the 1 player game players are always on offense.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen and 1-2 Players.
