Being one of the first football games on the NES, you would have thought that 10-Yard Fight would have been a below-average game. YOU WERE WRONG
10-Yard fight is one of my personal favourite games, and always will be. Its basic (yet very fun) gameplay and basic (yet effective) controls make it what it is.
Kevin's Review
Graphics: ***
Being one of the first NES games ever (Released in 1985), these graphics were about average for that time, but they accomplish their purpose.

Music: ***
Meh. The catchy little tune that plays when you start the game is the only music, but as for the sound effects, they really get you into the game. The little tapping sound of your feet that happens when you catch the ball after a kick-off, the cheering of the crowd, the referees whistle all help with the atmosphere of the game.

Gameplay: ****1/2
Throw the ball, run with the ball, get tackled, referee runs onto the field and tells you if its a first down. Can it get any better then that? Not much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall: ****
A great game that I feel I can play over and over and over and over again and still get excited when the referee tells me its a first down.

Worth playing? Yes, but play it as a NES game, not as an official football game.
Commenting Cory here. Though I will say Ten Yard Fight is a fantastic game. I must say that Tecmo Super Bowl is by far, by FAR, the superior game. Yes, running up the field is quite fun and addictive. Though I find the controls quite stiff. However in Tecmo Super Bowl. The controls are so smooth that you could slid sand paper across it and it would be the same as butter slidding across ice with oil sprayed all over. What I'm trying to get across is that, Ten Yard Fight is good. While Tecmo Super Bowl is awesome! And, you gotta admit the name is pretty darn catchy.
