DescriptionYou are rather like the Head Coach. Choose the plays then watch the players run those plays.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationDedicated stand-up has a red Marquee with NFL Football written across it. It also has a red football player at the end of the writing. The front of the box has a Big NFL emblem on the base of the unit. Each side of the box is blue and consists of a football player carrying the ball and avoiding a tackle from another player.Game PlayAfter the coin toss, you would select your play from the playbook. Once both the offense and defense selected their plays, the videodisc would take over and show scenes from the game to match the plays that were chosen.MiscellaneousThis game used live footage from a Raiders / Chargers football game. There was also an upgrade to the game that used footage from a Dallas / Redskins game. For each play selection, there were eight possible filmed segments, each having two different soundtracks for a total of over 800 different video combinations. There was a similar laser disc version of this game that was created for the Halcyon System.SEE ALSO: http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/pages/nfl.asp Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Uncommon - There are 6 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 6 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 0 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 6 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. Alternate Cabinet Imageshttp://www.atarihq.com/museum/coinops/games/nflbally.jpgTechnicalCPU: Z80This game follows the standard MCRIII board set wiring (e.g. Discs Of Tron, Journey), but it requires two additional board sets: a Squawk & Talk MCRII and a I.P.U. board. TriviaThis was the first arcade game that had the option to include a paper dollar bill acceptor.FixesThe most common problem with these games is the disc player. It uses a needle to read the discs which is prone to damage. If you can find one, replace the needle and this change will more often then not solve your problem.Another common problem is a worn out function motor drive belt, which is evident if the player will not unload the disc from the caddy or if the player makes a constant whirling sound when powered up, with the access door failing to open.
