Update of NFL Football with lots of interesting changes.

Graphics: 3 Sound: 3 Replay Value: 4 Notes: 0- 1- or 2-player game; Easter Egg Screen Shots

Haven't played much of Super Pro Football against 'live' competition yet. It's another case of INTV Corp. creating an excellent improvement on an Intellivision classic, NFL Football. I think that by proving that the Intellivision could run an even better version of one of the games that had set a new standard for video game football, the durability of the system was proven. Someplace I think I read (probably the Intellivision Lives! site) that this game was the one that sold the development of virtually all the new software released by INTV Corp.

Graphically, the majority of the game didn't change - you still had the same old sprites for your players. However, small touches, like the arch to throws and the shadow under the ball, helped. Play selection was completely reworked, providing for even more variety than before. The new touch that was the most fun was the addition of 'announcers' to show the game's statistics. You've just got to love those stat reports with the INTV announcers!

A total of two Super Pro Football box variants have been documented.

Image	Vendor	Part Number	Year	Origin	Description
	INTV Corporation	8400	None		No origin or copyright date; game title on bottom flap—title is upright when box lays face-up
Image not available.	INTV Corporation	8400	None		No origin or copyright date; has UPC bar code, but nogame title on bottom flap

Special thanks to Hankster for pointing out that a game title vs. UPC variation on the bottom flap of the box exists. My theory on this is that the earlier copies of the game had the game title only. Later copies, destined for store shelves, added the UPC barcode. Note that the barcode has the digits 08400 at the end - 8400 was the catalog number of Super Pro Football. The UPC version that I have seems to have the barcode aligned on the opposite end compared to Hankster's. Great. Now how in the heck are we supposed to cope with all these minute changes?!

It's been reported on the Digital Press site (credited to Ian Holbrough) (here) that a ROM variant exists that fixes a bug in Super Pro Football that only appeared on the Intellivision II systems. The bug, listed at the Intellivision Lives! site, was allegedly in some ROMs but not others. Can anyone confirm this with an actual cartridge?

Only one version of the manual has been found for Super Pro Football.

	INTV Corporation	8400	None		Accordian-style folding

The following supplemental materials have been found for Super Pro Football.

Image	Vendor	Part Number	Year	Origin	Description
	INTV Corporation	N/A	None		Large label, square corners; SUPER PRO on first line, FOOTBALL on second, both lines use same font and font size

	Nice touches on the title screen give a glimpse of the improvements you'll find.
	No need to keep those ratty old playbooks!
	Too bad more graphical enhancements weren't done for the core game. If this was all you saw, you'd think this was no different than the original NFL Football.
	One of the coolest touches! Football stat junkies can get their fix—with a nifty little announcer team to boot!
