This and the later Tecmo Super Bowl games are unique in offering a from-the-stands slant-view perspective.  Nice graphics and good sound.  It's also the only G/MD football sim I've seen with a "fighting mode" - once set, your players will play rough, take cheap shots, and argue with their opponents and the refs.  It's nice to have something that emphasizes arcade-style gameplay over  techincal accuracy, while at the same time remaining competetive with its rivals both in the graphics and sound departments.
