HOW TO PLAY There are two 10-Yard Fight games available: a 1 Player Game where the computer is your opponent, and a 2 Player Game where two players play against each other. *NOTE that some rules differ from those of the real game. OFFENSE *Rules and Techniques 1) The Kickoff—Catch the ball kicked by your opponent, then run as far forward as you can. 2) Scrimmage----Press A button to snap the ball and start play. *Before the ball is snapped, the forward pass receiver moves from right to left line of scrimmage. Push A button when he is where you want him and he'll move straight ahead at the same time the ball is snapped. 3) If you can advance over 10 yards on four downs, you get another four offensive plays (starting form first down). 4) SHAKE OFF TACKLERS! *Push the control pad quickly to dodge would-be tacklers with some quick fake! *It's all in the timing! 5) When the pass receivers put up their hands you can pass (try passing>>side>>forward for some quick yardage). *When making a side pass, choose which lateral receiver (left or right) you want to pass to by pushing the left or right side of the control pad at the same time as the B button. Push A button to pass to the forward receiver. 6) Once the man with the ball goes over the scrimmage line, he can no longer pass. 7) The arrow mark points toward the direction of the kick. *The Control Pad moves the arrow mark to the left or right (in kick mode). *If the goal post can be seen at the time of snap, you can also attempt to score a field goal. DEFENSE *Rules and Techniques 1) After the kickoff, run forward and push your opponent back as far as possible. 2) Before the play begins, choose which player, A or B, you want to control. 3) After the ball is snapped, tackle the man with the ball or block his pass. Pushing either the A or B button lets you do a flying tackle! ACE IN-THE-HOLE PLAYS FOR WHEN YOU NEED A LOT OF YARDAGE FAST! *The Field The entire field will not appear on the screen at one time. However as the players move down the field the screen moves with them. Keep the entire field in mind when playing (Don't forget about the goal line, especially!) *The Long Bomb Stall for time behind the line of scrimmage until your forward pass receiver gets as far as downfield as possible, then throw the long bomb—but the pass better be complete! *The all-or-nothing blindshot Even if he goes off the screen, the forward pass receiver keeps running. Throw a lateral or something to get the opponent chasing you—then take a good guess at where the forward pass receiver is and go for broke. POINTS *Touchdown-----6 points *Field Goal------3 points *Try for point---1 point *Safety-----------2 points NOTE: Even if the remaining yardage for 1st down or touchdown is less than a yard, display on the screen will show as "1 yard".
