- 1.0 INTRODUCTION
-
- Cunning Football is a dynamic, interactive, menu driven football
- game. It tests both skill and strategy, requiring a user to
- guide players as well as call plays. The program requires an IBM
- compatible computer with an EGA or VGA adapter. Cunning Football
- runs best on systems with 320K or more available RAM, but it may
- work with less. CFB allows the user to select either the keypad,
- a mouse, or a joystick as the controlling input device.
-
- CFB simulates a real football game as closely as possible. It
- includes interceptions, penalties, and other subtleties found in
- football. However, CFB was also designed to be easy to use, so
- some realism was sacrificed for the sake of user friendliness.
- Although, CFB has undergone several revisions, there is always
- room for improvement. So, registered users are encouraged to
- send comments and suggestions to make the game even more
- entertaining.
-
- After registering your copy of Cunning Football, you will receive
- the TWO PLAYER VERSION of CFB (CFBX), an EXTENDED USER'S MANUAL,
- and an EXPANDED PLAYBOOK.
-
- The TWO PLAYER VERSION (CFBX) allows two people to play against
- one another. In CFBX, the two players can "challenge" each other
- with both skill and strategy. You'll have much more football fun
- than you ever did before!
-
- The EXTENDED MANUAL has detailed explanations of all of the
- plays. It also has tips on how to execute your plays more
- effectively.
-
- The EXPANDED PLAYBOOK contains many more exciting plays to
- increase your play calling choices.
-
- Modifications being considered for future versions:
- 1. Modem support for remote two player games.
- 2. Statistics display (based on play, down, and ?).
- 3. Modifiable team and/or player profiles.
- 4. User defined plays.
- 5. Any other suggestions to make the game more enjoyable.
-
- Cunning Football is the best interactive football game available,
- including any commercial games. CFB is a fun and exciting game
- oriented toward those of us football fans who have a relatively
- good understanding of the game of football, and really enjoy it.
-
- The user will be the VISITING team and the program will represent
- the HOME team. I hope you enjoy Cunning Football. Good Luck.
-
-
- REMEMBER : You'll get the TWO PLAYER GAME, the EXPANDED USER'S
- GUIDE, and the EXTENDED PLAYBOOK with registration.

- Menu." The rest is self-explanatory.
-
-

- highlighted selection.
