Super Challenge Football | (LS) (Atari 2600)

Super Challenge Football is a two-player American football game for the Atari 2600 that lets friends go head‑to‑head calling plays and running the offense or defense down a side‑scrolling field. Before each play, you assign teammates to block, run routes, or cover receivers, giving the game a surprising amount of strategy for its era.

The game is praised for its readable field graphics, inventive play‑calling system, and competitive action that can feel surprisingly deep once you get the hang of it. It even includes interceptions and scoreboard indicators for downs and quarters, though it lacks kicking plays and single‑player support.

While not a full simulation by modern standards, Super Challenge Football captures the fun of classic football strategy and remains a memorable pick for retro sports fans looking for head‑to‑head competition on the 2600.
