John Elway's Quarterback

John Elway's Quarterback is a vertical-scrolling Football sim that features the former Denver Broncos quarterback's likeness. Originally released in Arcades, it was later ported to various home systems.

Overview

Originally an arcade unit, John Elway's Quarterback allowed up to four players (two per side) to play at once. You could play either as the quarterback or the halfback in addition to defense. The game continued on a pay as you play basis at a rate of twenty five cents per quarter of action. Despite carrying the name of NFL star John Elway, the game was not sanctioned by the National Football League so it contained only generic teams from various cities.
