TRIVIA

Super Challenge Football is the Atari 2600 version of the Intellivision NFL Football cartridge.

TIPS AND TRICKS

* A quick way to catch the ball carrier is to run off one end of the field. You quickly reappear at the other end. This is useful when the linebacker is way behind the quarterback. Go off the screen and appear ahead of the quarterback at the other end.

* Use directional blocking (up/down) to open up a hole in the offensive line, then run through it!

* Program several linemen to go out for a pass. (Remember, only one actual receiver.) This fakes out defense!
