NES Play Action Football (NES) Playthrough

[@NintendoComplete]

NES Play Action Football is pretty impressive for an NES sports cart - if you're looking for an 8-bit sim-style football game, this is a great choice.

[@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293]

And a big breath of fresh air after playing the terrible _NFL_ NES game, I'm sure.

[@NintendoComplete]

​@@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293Very much so.

[@garygood6804]

I dominated this game

[@christopherthibeault7502]

Nester's Funky Bowling [Virtual Boy].

[@bigcozz89]

NES Play Action Football will never be on the same level as Tecmo Bowl nor Tecmo Super Bowl, but it’s much better than NFL Football by LJN/Atlus

[@JIVETURKEY600]

OMG i loved this game as a kid.

[@jyrki21]

The missing link between 10 Yard Fight and Tecmo Bowl. I’ll bet some of these guys could run the 40 in under two minutes!

[@SolCresta3405]

My childhood. I play this every Super Bowl.

[@alexh2790]

This is a pure hit of nostalgia, never got used to the passing as a kid though.

[@NintendoComplete]

Yeah it's kinda weird the way you have to position yourself behind the arrow, slightly off center.

[@JIVETURKEY600]

@@NintendoComplete I remember being on the Bottom Right side of the arrow to catch... Fun times.

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

Same here I never got good at the game but I'm enjoy watching it it really takes me back to better times

[@redhoode.n.y.6314]

This was the first football game i ever played

[@RandyDubin]

*FIRSTDOWN!* *TOUCHDOWN!* Always remember the ref saying that in this game. 😊

[@bdsnook3]

To this day my childhood friends say “pussah!” to each other. We thought they both sounded like that

[@Nbjk01]

..... i had a nintendo power with this gane and strats for each team..... and then i had the snes version . talk about depth.. being able to play college and pros, as well as some highschool... man such a strange gem

[@walterpetersen776]

A real pain the SNES version.

[@CardShark_Chris]

Low key one of the best sports games on NES.

[@bigdoggwilliekhangoattwt6939]

Hell No

[@frankez99]

I LOVED this game as a kid. As a huge Redskins fan and stats nerd I was in heaven. This and the first Bases Loaded were my favs.

[@merlinthegray]

They must've spent so much time on the intro sequence! So good!

[@calvinminor9940]

I remember this video game long time ago before my older brother and I played it on The NES system

[@jerryalexander8803]

I had a lot fun playing this as a kid

[@jwilder2251]

This was created by someone who doesn’t understand why 10-Yard Fight sucks and why Tecmo Bowl is great

[@Kevin-tc8vn]

😂😂

[@Brand33777]

i spent way too much time on this and then tecmo superbowl came out and this was retired. it was alright

[@bdunk914]

I guess you are a Niners fan! I enjoyed watching you dominate with Young and Rice earlier watching your Tecmo Bowl PS1 video.. Back when my Redskins actually were decent!

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

HTTR. I just had an epic game against the Redskins in the Super Bowl with the jets. I was doing a challenge taking the Jets through a season with Tony Eason as my starting QB

[@pureflix8086]

The thumbnail looks like the setter is flipping the kicker off 😂

[@omnione12]

man Brent Jones was working

[@jdsaw100]

Thank you very much 😊.

[@Yodaveli-jedi-outlaw_immortal]

I loved this game. Real players! Offensive and defensive playbook. Don’t remember it being so “ten yard fight-ish” though with the running. 😂

[@garygood6804]

Even did a kickoff punt return

[@eugenehills8371]

FOURTH DOWN and LONG 21:20

[@morrismerritt7923]

My brother and I loved to compete on this game.

[@zerwif]

10:34 good lord Denver bungled that play.

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

Firs dwn! Lol always loved that. I was always a Tecmo guy but I always wanted to like this one but just never could get into it that much although I wanted to. it does have a charm I like the fact that has real players but I never got good at it. With the learning curve of the mechanics of the game the huge field and how slow the players move it was kind of overwhelming. But I would like to revisit this Sometime maybe.

[@garygood6804]

I always dov3 into the end zone even when i didnt need to

[@kevinsalaam1390]

My friends and I would play this game using the four player adapter. (Nes Satellite)

[@biggsweaty]

I think there is a Nester reference in StarTropics 2

[@NintendoComplete]

Oh for real? I don't remember that, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

[@BingBong67489]

@@NintendoComplete Nester also stars in Nester's Funky Bowling on the Virtual Boy.

[@Gen-X-Memories]

I remember playing this but damn I don't remember the players being this slow.

[@geocooley7282]

:16 no one’s kneeling

[@Dorian_Scott]

Still better than LJN's "NFL" for NES.

[@NintendoComplete]

That's quite the understatement.

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

I forgot this game was compatible with the NES Four Score.

[@AKTre]

I thought it was called the NES Satellite?

[@mymusic3354]

While I wish it had more teams and more gameplay options....I think this game is good, I still play it, it was nice how it had player likenesses, both the thumbnail pic of each and they played like their real life counterparts, and the referee speech for things like "first down" was cool. 👍 I had this game when it came out, and picked it up for my retro collection when I started my collection. It's too bad that today on the new consoles the only option is Madden which tends to be very glitchy and broken, NES having multiple options, including this, which had an iso angle, and a lot of players and plays to choose from. While I liked the Tecmo games, this one, to me....Was and is a good game. 👍

[@garygood6804]

Sf is the only way to go in this game

[@walterpetersen776]

Easy kick off.

[@eugenehills8371]

National Anthem theme

[@fr33ko]

Wasnt this the game where you pick the 49ers, onside kick to jerry rice, and profit?

[@eugenehills8371]

Interception 5:19 Griffin pass

[@bigdoggwilliekhangoattwt6939]

The slowest football game of all time.

[@youtubin222]

kids these days would never have the patience for this lol

[@ericwright2594]

this game has nothing on tecmo bowl

[@CardShark_Chris]

Different style of game.

[@danalong1237]

And its sequel Tecmo Super Bowl (and Tecmo Super Bowl’s 16-bit adaptations)!

[@garygood6804]

Shotgun bomb is the only play

[@eugenehills8371]

17:28 THIRD DOWN and Inches

[@eugenehills8371]

Extra Points It's Good

[@smiley6168]

I can't believe I thought this mess was good back in the day😂😂

[@broncosbreaks]

You would go on to outscore your opponents 557-28!!!

[@Mario13410]

I liked game

[@javierm7339]

Tecmo bowl put all these games to shame.

[@XiaoFury]

Never heard of this game. I was stuck on Tecmo bowl. Always played with the Bears because of that one RB that could plow through everybody lol This game looks fun, but way too slow.

[@Mario13410]

I have lkke

[@eugenehills8371]

FOURTH DOWN and inches

[@tomcrews1]

it so slow though…

[@KreigsMarine2]

This game, and Wayne gretzky hockey were about the worst games ever. I still have both of them
