All-American College Football

All-American College Football is an obscure football sports game by Micro League Sports that focuses on American rules football. It was published by IBM at a time when the computer giant was attempting to broaden its spectrum to include the world of PC gaming. All-American College Football is the unofficial sequel to NFL Pro League Football, featuring an improved but similar engine that has been changed to accommodate college players. It was released in the early nineties.
The game features many powerhouse teams and many players that later went on to star in the National Football League showcasing their illustrious college careers.

The teams range from the forties to the eighties and come from all the major divisions in the NCAA from the Big 10’s Penn State to other perennially great Division 1 teams such as Nebraska and Oklahoma. All the stars are present on their respective teams.
Like most any football management game of its time, All-American College Football allowed the user the option of creating and recreating classic college teams and pitting them against one another in complete season fashion, or in single game skirmishes. The game was statistically accurate due to its licensure and featured college players with the same skills as what they had achieved in real life. The user could choose to actually play the entire season or have the computer simulate it for him, just to see how teams would have fared in different eras. All of the players could be modified and tweaked with All-American College Football’s statistical editor. The game featured a great stat tracker, marking offensive, defensive and special team’s plays. At any time, the user could check the rankings for the top twenty five college stars at any position to see where his players ranked in comparison with the studs of other teams. It also features accurate (at the time of publication) college football records for each of those three categories.
Graphically speaking, All-American College Football is stellar, however. The visual display is as dated as the game itself. The sound is somewhat better and features a play by play commentator who tends to overact and is sure to bring a chuckle to the user once in while. In summary, All –American College Football comes recommended for fans of sports micromanagers, fans of college football, or even the NFL. The names will certainly be familiar to you, and it could be a great lesson in history, learning about some of the NFL’s stars before they were professional. A great play and a good download.
