Before those NFL Madden series showed up on high end game consoles. This addictive game has been the talk of the town. No, its not called NFL or Madden - gamer from days of yore knows this game as 10-Yard Fight.
10-Yard Fight has a 2 player option where two gamer gets their turn in an alternating or simultaneous manner. The game's objective is actually simple, bring the football to your opponent's goal and do a touchdown.
Your Nintendo Entertainment System's game pad crossbar controls the movement of your whole football team. While the B button allows you to kick the ball and A button are used for passing the pigskin (football) to your team mates, you can use both buttons for doing a tackle. B and A buttons are also used for selecting defensive players. What more can we say about this!? Top view vertical scrolling football action within the comfort of your home while in front of your CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TV. This game also has five levels of difficulties - Super Bowl being the most difficult to beat.
In Japan they will most likely pronounce the word yard as yardu and the word fight as fightu. Not a coincidence as this game's Japanese title is 10ヤードファイト which should read as "Zyuu Yardu Fightu" or "Ju-ten Yardu Fightu".
By going through the screen shots you will get the feeling of how it is like to be in the video gaming world during your old man's era. There is no known special codes for this game that will enhance your game play. I mean, you would be a loser to use some kind of cheat for this game.

| OBJECT OF THE GAME/GAME DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| American Football, the intense game where muscle, brains, and passion col-
lide. Whether playing yourself, or just watching others, you can't help but
get into the 10-yard fight!
Offense tries to advance as far as they can toward the goal line. However, defense is ready to stop you with as many as 183 starting formations and as many as 133,407 plays they're trying to get yardage and win the game too! Size up each play slyly -- yet quickly -- and make a charge for the goal line! The game gradually gets harder as you get better. You start playing high school, then college, then pro, then play off, and finally Super Bowl level football.
Come up with game-winning strategies and nice moves for both offense and defense. So get on the gridiron and fight, fight, fight! |

| ACE-lN-THE-HOLE PLAYS FOR WHEN YOU NEED A LOT OF YARDAGE FAST! *The Field The entire field will not appear on the screen at one time. However, as the players move down the field the screen moves with them. Keep the entire field in mind when playing (Don’t forget about the goal line, especially!) *The long bomb Stall for time behind the line of scrimmage until your forward pass receiver gets as far downfield as possible, then throw the long bomb -- but the pass better be complete! *The all-or-nothing blindshot Even if he goes off the screen, the forward pass receiver keeps running. Throw a lateral or something to get the opponent chasing you -- then take a good guess at where the forward pass receiver is and go for broke. POINTS *Touchdown . . . . . .6 points *Field Goal . . . . . .3 points *Try for point . . . . .1 point *Safety. . . . . . . . .2 points NOTE: Even if the remaining yardage for 1st down or touchdown is less than a yard, display on the screen will show as "1 yard". |
