Football (1986 Video Game)
''Football'' is a 1986 video game published by Sublogic. Gameplay ''Football'' is a game in which two teams consisting of fictional players are included, and the ratings of these players can be adjusted. Reception Rick Teverbaugh reviewed the game for ''Computer Gaming World'', and stated that "The cleverly titled ''Football'', from subLogic, is a nice enough game. The game system is much easier to implement than many recent efforts, but the graphics are only average (detail of the field is missing)." Roy Wagner reviewed the game for ''Computer Gaming World'', and stated that "I was disappointed in seeing this game turn out to be not as good a simulation as I expected. Perhaps it was because after such great flying simulations, I expected too much when my feet were back on the ground." References {{reflist External linksReviewin Ahoy!

Computer Gaming World
''Computer Gaming World'' (CGW) was an American computer game magazine published between 1981 and 2006. One of the few magazines of the era to survive the video game crash of 1983, it was sold to Ziff Davis in 1993. It expanded greatly through the 1990s and became one of the largest dedicated video game magazines, reaching around 500 pages by 1997. In the early 2000s its circulation was about 300,000, only slightly behind the market leader ''PC Gamer''. But, like most magazines of the era, the rapid move of its advertising revenue to internet properties led to a decline in revenue. In 2006, Ziff announced it would be refocused as ''Games for Windows'', before moving it to solely online format, and then shutting down completely later the same year. History In 1979, Russell Sipe left the Southern Baptist Convention ministry. A fan of computer games, he realized in spring 1981 that no magazine was dedicated to computer games.
