This is a throwback ad from 1974… I liked to, so I posted it.
You can make it happen with the APBA pro league football game. 30 individual player cars for each NFL team, 780 different cards in all.
THE APBA Pro League Football Game includes all 26 NFL (NFC and AFC) teams, and each team is comprised of thirty different two-color player cards. And even more cards are available with the game if you wish to expand your rosters.
Since each player in the game is represented by a separate, individual card, the options open to you in APBA Football are almost unlimited. You can, of course, play with the actual NFL teams contained in the game: you can replay the week-by-week schedule of your favorite team, and you can replay a complete division or conference or and entire league schedule.
You can form your own league, hold your own NFL player draft, and even make your own trades. You can create any sort of all-star squad or super-team you can imagine.
You can combine the talents of O.J. Simpson and Larry Csonka in s dream backfield; you can pair the passing skill of Joe Namath with the receiving wizardry of Charley Taylor and Fred Biletnikoff. On defense, you can anchor your unit with premier tackles like Joe
Greene and Alan Page, or with superior linebackers like Chris Hanburger and Willie Lanier.
In short, you can arrange and re-arrange the players any way you want, for APBA Football makes you the coach, owner and general manager of your own table-top football team.
Realistic Player Performances – Realistic Coaching Challenges
No matter how you employ your players, you’ll be thrilled to see them perform, in every phase of pro play, just as they did during the actual NFL season. Runners like John Brockington and Calvin Hill, passers like Fran Tarkenton and Roman Gabriel, punters and placekickers like Jerrel Wilson and Garo Yepremian respectively – each will domonstrate the same skills (and weaknesses) he has displayed in actual pro competition.
And don’t think for a second that only the backs are important in APBA Football. Interior linemen also have individual cards and stalwarts like Miami offensive guard Larry Little and Cincinnati defensive tackle Mike Read will be just as valuable to you as they are to Don Shula and Paul Brown.
To be an effective APBA coach, you’ll need to know both the game of football and the capabilities of your own personnel. You call the plays on offense and align your defense when your oppenent has the ball. You’ll find APBA coaching to be just like the real thing.
