John Elway's Quarterback for the Nintendo Entertainment System. John Elway's Quarterback, also known as John Elway's Quarterback Challenge, is a 1987 football video game. Home versions were released for DOS (as a booter) and the Nintendo Entertainment System (in 1988). The arcade game is an upright that had two player capability.
The controls are different for both the left and right sides (offense and defense). There is a spring-loaded joystick which allows the player to angle and release according to where they were throwing (for the quarterback) or kicking. When possession changes, players switch sides of the console, and play continues. In both cases, players can select from a playbook of formations and plays.
