Super Pro Football is an American football video game released for the Intellivision in 1986. Developed and published by INTV Corp., the game offers a simulation of American football with a top-down view and simplified controls, making it accessible to a broad audience.
The game features two teams: the Home Team and the Visiting Team, each with distinct color schemes. Players can choose to play as either team, and the game supports both single-player and two-player modes. The gameplay includes standard football elements such as passing, running, and kicking, with an emphasis on strategic playcalling and execution.
Super Pro Football was part of a series of “Super Pro” sports games released by INTV Corp., which aimed to provide more advanced sports simulations for the Intellivision platform. The game’s release was timed for the 1986 holiday season and was part of INTV’s efforts to revitalize interest in the Intellivision system.
While the game did not achieve the same level of popularity as some other sports titles of the era, it remains a notable example of late-era Intellivision game development and showcases the capabilities of the system for sports simulations.
