Play ABC Monday Night Football Online

ABC Monday Night Football came out on the Super Nintendo in 1993, a Data East game that landed right in the middle of the console's life. It was one of many football titles trying to grab attention, a straightforward arcade-style game without the simulation depth of its competitors.

You control a team of seven players per side on a short field, running plays from a limited playbook. The main objective is just to score more points than the other team, either by running the ball in or completing a long pass. Signature mechanics include a turbo button for a temporary speed burst and the ability to laterall the ball backwards to avoid tackles. The game moves at a frantic, almost chaotic pace, and the difficulty comes from the slippery controls and the computer's aggressive defense. It feels like a simplified, slightly clumsy version of football that is more about quick reactions than any real strategy.
