At last! A football game that isn't in text!! Finally a football game where YOU control the action!! YES!!

Controls:
Arrow Keys: Move guy
MODE: Move diagonal up-left
DEL: Move diagonal up-right
X,T,0,n: Move diagonal down-left
STAT: Move diagonal down-right
2nd (defense only): Take control of your teammate
1,2 (passing only): Pass to the corresponding receiver

Game tips: (PLEASE READ!)

Tips on starting:
The quarter length determines how many loops are in a quarter in multiples of 60 (ex. Typing 2 will put 120 loops per quarter, 3 will be 180, etc.)

Tips on rushing:
Rush right, not left.
Follow your blocker, the C.
Use MODE,DEL,(X,T,0,n), and STAT to move diagonally.

Tips on passing:
Push 1 or 2 to pass to the corresponding receiver.
Once you push the button, a > begins moving forward. Press the same button (1 or 2) again to stop the >, which marks where you will throw.  Use up and down to angle the pass as the > moves.
Receiver 1 is for short passes, 10 yards or less.
Receiver 2 heads deep off the snap. You may pass to him at anytime, the further down the field he is, the further you will throw.  If he is at least 8 yards down the field, you can pass over 10 yards for him.
During a pass, X marks the spot (where the ball will land) your receiver will automatically go for the catch. Once caught, (if caught) run right.
Once you pass the line of scrimmage (the !) you cannot pass the ball.

Tips on field goals:
Push enter to stop the bouncing O in the center of the screen.
Next, when the O starts moving right, push enter again when the O is at the very right of the screen for the most power. If the O gets to the right and you don't push enter it will drop left quickly, reducing the power, so be ready!

Tips on punting:
Punts work almost the same as field goals, except you kick in the other direction.

Tips on punt returns:
Run right.

Tips on rush defense:
Run into the X. See the rushing tips for diagonal movement.

Tips on pass defense:
You can sack the X, or more preferably, cover the R and let your teammate go after the quarterback. After the pass, try to position yourself immediately to the left of the R to intercept or block a pass.

What those funny little letters and numbers on the screen mean:
The number at the bottom left of the screen shows how many yards until the endzone.
!: The line of scrimmage. Anything to the left is a loss, to the right, a gain.
O: You. You always control this guy.
A: The blocker(s) on your opponents team.
1,2: Your receivers on a passing play.
C: Your blocker OR the wide receivers on the other team.
0: Your teammate (on defense)
X: The ballcarrier (on the other team) OR where a pass will land
R: The tight end on the other team.

New for this version:
Changed the passing engine to a more dynamic method.
Added defense formation selection.
Added punt returns (still no kickoff/interception returns)
Fixed the bug preventing passes over ten yards.
Added diagonal movement (Rushing is useful now!)
Touchdown celebrations!!!!!!

Future versions:
Kick returns, interception returns, etc.
Fumbles
Penalties
Stiff arms
More stuff
