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!




ROM It has been reported, but not confirmed, that two versions exist.
Box So far, two variations have been found.
Manual Two variants have been identified.
Overlays Custom overlays have been designed and distributed by Psycho Stormtrooper.
Label No variations have been found.
Easter Eggs One Easter egg has been found–game credits.




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

Image Vendor Part Number Year Origin Description
Super Pro Football Box (INTV Corporation 8400) 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 no game 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?

Title Screen Nice touches on the title screen give a glimpse of the improvements you'll find.
Play Selection Screen No need to keep those ratty old playbooks!
Gridiron Action! 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.
Madden & Summerall, Eat Yer Hearts Out! One of the coolest touches! Football stat junkies can get their fix—with a nifty little announcer team to boot!
