American Football. Nominated as "Coach of the Year" last year, you have the freedom of coaching any of the premier American football teams. Your price? Well it's difficult to say, but one thing is sure, the team you will coach will give you a pre-season working capital of $250,000. What you do with it is up to you. Play the game: select your squad; beat the transfer market; beat the bank. All you have to do is field the best team at the best time and make money! If you're good enough, then win the Superbowl. Here's lookin' at ya, kid. . .Go for it! NOTICE TO PROGRAMMERS We are always keen to hear from up and coming programmers who would like to see their game published. So please send a copy of your game to the address on these instructions and allow 28 days for a reply. +-----------------------------------------+ +------------------------+ | WARNING ALL RIGHTS OF THE PRODUCER | | © 1987 CREATIVE SPARKS | | AND THE OWNER OF THE WORK REPRODUCED | | DISTRIBUTION CO.

How good are you? If you think you're that good, just remember that the opposition thinks it's better! If that's not bad enough, then your gate money becomes harder to earn in order to pay your higher wages bills. 2. Transfer Market Your squad of eleven players and five reserves are displayed. You can sell one reserve per match, but if you sell a player then you must buy another to replace him. 3. Changing Players'/Teams' names To change the name simply type the player's or team's number and enter the replacement name. 4. Obtain/Payback loan Your credit limit is $1,000,000 but interest is chargeable at 1% per match. You must pay back any amount up to the outstanding balance of the loan. 5. The Match You can opt to move a reserve into your team, play the game or simply review the vital statistics of your team and its opposition. Should you choose to play the game, then the match is represented in 3D Graphics. The outcome of the game is governed by a composite of the morale, skill and energy levels of the two teams, so if your team looks set to win 'on paper' then just as in real-life, you might win - or you might lose. . . . 6. Your rating Your rating as a coach depends on how well you perform and how much money your team earns. Remember, there's more to being a coach than simply winning games!
