Game Summary:
TouchDown Fever (タッチダウンフィーバー) is a 1987 American football arcade game developed and published by SNK. It was later ported to the NES and was released in North America by SNK in February 1991 and in Japan by K. Amusement Leasing on November 11, 1988, titled as Touch Down Fever: American Football (タッチダウンフィーバー アメリカンフットボール).
Description:
TOUCHDOWN FEVER! It’s the muscle, the hustle, the chomp, the stomp and the strategy that make it football! Run I-formations, quarterback sneaks, shot-gun plays, and more. Try a 40-yard field goal, or punt if you have to! Watch out for the safety, and don’t cross that line of scrimmage!
If you’ve ever had the urge to kick the ball through the goalposts, send golden spirals into glory, or freight-train a pigskin into the end zone, you must have TOUCHDOWN FEVER!
Match league teams: play eastern division against western; play your team against the computer; or, play tournament with two players against the computer. Real clock time with 5, 10 or 15 minute quarters. Huddle for strategy and GO TOUCHDOWN GO!
Gameplay:
At first glance, it resembles Irem’s 1983 arcade game 10 Yard Fight, but with rotating joysticks that were previously used in SNK’s Ikari Warriors. Most of the official rules are in effect as well as most major running and passing plays. Field goals and punts are also included, but, players cannot make horse collar tackles.
• NES Version
This version featured teams that originated from cities that had NFL teams at the time (such as Seattle and Phoenix) but not the colors or the nicknames as the game was not officially licensed by the NFL. Graphics were toned down as they were for many arcade games ported to the system. The human players could only select five basic plays: Long Pass, Short Pass, QB Sneak, Backs (a hand-off) or Punt/Field Goal (Field Goals could only be attempted if the line of scrimmage was within the 15-yard line). Field Goals would always go through the uprights unless blocked by the opposing team. Despite the NFL not adopting this rule until the 1994 season, a player could attempt a 2-point conversion if so desired.
