From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arena Football is a 1988 Commodore 64 computer game coded by Chris R. Bickford III. It is essentially the first Arena or Indoor Football game ever created. It is a simple text-based simulation that allows the user to pick a play for his team (on defense or offense) and the computer simulates the results of the play based on real-life data and tendecies of the actual team. Presently the game circulates for free on the internet and has gained new life through emulation.
