One of the earliest games by Dynamix programmers, GFL Championship Football is a solid text-based simulation of the gridiron sport. The goal is simple: pick a team from NFL's four geographic divisions and lead it to win over the opposing side, whether human or computer-controlled. The game's playbook is quite comprehensive for its age, and the strategy does affect the outcome of the game. Too bad there is no tournament or championship mode despite the game's title, making it good only as a quick beer-and-pretzel football fix instead of a comprehensive simulation.
In all, a respectable effort for the time, although falls short of rivalling XOR's NFL Challenge, a much deeper and more sophisticated contemporary football simulation.

Wasted pocket money and then a load of time on this game. Really unsatisfying. The opposition had 20 players+ on defence! Near impossible to punt or do field goals too.
At least the music was good!
...Heh, I remember having to hex edit this game to change team names after certain teams ceased to exist - or, at least, deserved to :P
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
