Gameplay ''TV Sports: Football'' is the first game released for a series of sports games which featured athletic action like on television. Reception Wyatt Lee and J. D. Lambright reviewed the game for ''Computer Gaming World'', and wrote that "action game fans who want a difficult game may not like this game as well as a strict arcade game like ''John Elway's Quarterback'', but players who want to capture the atmosphere, flow of play, and fast-moving competition of professional football should love it". In the November 1989 edition of the British magazine '' Games International'' (issue 10), Ernesto Williams was not familiar with the American sport of football, but was able to learn the game through this videogame.

The company was active between 1983 and 1991, and shut down completely in early 1992.

This combination led him to believe that Mirror, as a communications company, should be working more closely with computer software, wherefore he approached Mirror's board of directors in 1983, suggesting that they launch a software label under Mirror Group's name, and thereby diversifying the group's non-newspaper operations, which already included Mirror Boats and Mirror Books. The division, named Mirrorsoft, was officially launched in late 1983, and Mackonochie was allowed to task several o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Info (magazine)
''.info'' (originally ''INFO=64'' and later ''INFO'') was a computer magazine covering Commodore 8-bit computers and later the Amiga. It was published from 1983 to 1992.
