10 Yard Fight was created by Irem and released on August 30th, 1985 for the Famicom and NES. It is a bare-bones football game with only two real goals, get to the other side of the field, and hit the ball through the goal post after doing so. You have a time limit at the start of each run, and must get to the end by the time is up or it is game over. You can also increase your time by getting so far in a single run.
The game starts out pretty easy but gets really difficult really quickly. Once you reach the College Team, you will have quite a bit of difficulty, and it only gets harder from there. Despite all that, there is something quite addicting about the game. Something that just makes you want to continue, even though it does not have much depth.
The sounds aren't that good, and there's hardly any music to speak of. I'd recommend playing some other music while playing this game myself. There's also no story to speak of, but that's hardly a problem in this case due to this not only being a sports game, but one of the first American football video games.
Overall, it's a fun game, and it can really suck you in if you like it's simplicity. But for all these factors, I'll have to give it a final rating of 6.7.
