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!

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?!
Game logo appears on bottom flap of box

Only the UPC barcode appears on the bottom flap of the box

Second variant with the UPC barcode on the bottom flap of the box

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?

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! |
