About this game

NFL Football is an American football video game developed by Mattel and released for its Intellivision system in 1980. The players each control a football team competing in a standard four-quarter game. Like Mattel's other sports video games, NFL Football did not use any official National Football League team names or player names, even though Mattel obtained a license from the NFL and used the league's logo in its box art. NFL Football has been cited as the first football video game to have a playbook.

A 1989 American football game released for the NES. It is notable for being the first football game to use the official NFL teams and logos. Gameplay modes included an NFC or AFC game type, Interconference, or Super Bowl Mode.
