John Elway's QUARTERBACK(TM)
LINE-OF-SCRIMMAGE REALISM THAT PUTS YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME!
John Elway's QUARTERBACK is the home video game you've been waiting for. So
real you can see the game like a quarterback does, from the line of
scrimmage. You call the plays, you throw the passes, run the ball, and make
the tackles.
It's third down and a long four yards to the first down that will stop the
clock. No time-outs left. The weak side linebacker is lined up inside his
defensive end. They're coming! You check-off the play at the line of
scrimmage and call for a quick pass to the tight end. He breaks it for a
T.D. !
Named for the quarterback who twice won the AFC Player of the Year Award,
this is the game made for every kid or grownup kid who ever wanted to play
the game as well as John Elway.
"I hope you enjoy playing my QUARTERBACK game as much as I do."
-John Elway

Tips for play
Quarterback does not have to run the play selected. Example: If you have
called for BOMB and the defense is in PREVENT, you can choose to run a
quarterback draw which will probably net 5-10 yards.
You can pass at any time during a play as long as the quarterback remains
behind the line of scrimmage by pressing the [B] button.
On defense, if your middle linebacker is too far from the ball carrier to
make the tackle, you can change your control to the closest defensive
player to the ball by pressing the [B] button.
When playing a 1 player game you can use either controller. (1 for blue
team and 2 for red team.)
Once the game is started it continues without interruption until the game
ends.
BLOCK KICK defense can only be used against punts or field goal attempts.
