Armchair Quarterback 
(1985 Pseudonym Software)


Armchair Quarterback is a decent free text-based simulation of 
American football. As the in-game description says, "...nearly all 
aspects of the sport are simulated or taken into account, including 
actual statistics of professional teams in the 1980s". The designer 
did make a serious attempt to provide the game with enough 
intelligence to make it a worthy opponent. 

For its age and freeware status, Armchair Quarterback is a surprisingly 
fun and challenging simulation, even if it is somewhat limited. For a 
quick and dirty game of football management, Armchair Quarterback 
more than fits the bill. Recommended!
