Summary – Football Fury

The actual gameplay takes place in a playoffs system of a fictional American football league.^[5] Gameplay involves the usual football fare of choosing a play and attempting to execute it.^[5] On offense, when throwing the football, a meter appears which measures the strength of the passer’s throw.^[5] On defense, the player controls a defensive player and tries to tackle the opposing ball carrier or attempt to break up a pass play.^[5] There is an option to either play with or without background music.^[5]

There are two conferences: the United States Football Conference (USFC) and the American All-Star Football Conference (AAFC). Even though the teams are fictional, they use the cities of the actual NFL teams of the early 1990s.^[5] Passwords allow saved games to be restored while a news report is made after each game through the fictional cable television network ZIFN.
