Old school AFL game on Nintendo

Just stumbled across this on YouTube.

Did anyone else play this in their misspent youth?
Loved this game. They even had the foresight to have a Tassie and Canberra team. Lol.

I went to a party one night about 25 years ago, and whilst about 200 drunken teenage revellers were doing what drunken teenage revellers do, me and a couple of mates found the Nintendo in the dude's living room.

We played it for hours whilst the party of the year went on around us. If someone dared walk in front of the TV they'd get berated.

But it all turned sour when Plugger (my full forward of course) kicked his 10th. I went berserk and stood up and did the big old school Moorabbin style "Ppppllluuggggggeeeerrrrr!!!!", and the dude I was playing against punched me in the face. A brawl ensued.

Game over.


Good times.

Good story RF.

I remember keeping stats on the game. Harvey would end up with 40 touches and Plugger a few goals of course.

I found it funny in the above vid that the special comments man (looks like Max Walker) at half time said the Saints had the game wrapped up but were only 1 point up. Minute 8.35.

Not a gamer, so never seen it before.

Each to their own Ted, enjoy!

Watched a few minutes..

Smashed in the hitouts
Terrible disposal
Woeful kicking for goal

Altogether lucky to beat a mediocre team in Brisbane

Boy they got our number for the season just passed

just too much going on for the makers to create decent video footy game. i'd settle for an afl management sim. created a board game one in high school for an economics assignment. games decided by dice, with bonuses for star players and home games.

You can play it on your laptop/desktop here. Not sure if it works on iPhones

The thing I never liked about AFL games is the shots on goal... kick between the posts icon.

I prefer it to be a little more random. The better the position, the more likely to kick goals ala real footy. Some players more accurate than others.

Like the FIFA model

Awesome. Cheers.

If you want, you can download an NES emulator and a ROM of the game and play it on the old PC.

It's pretty good. Can do that more or less with any NES, SNES, Sega games from that era

Harvey Norman has a little black box for the oldies for just over a hundred bucks.

Plugs straight into the tele and contains all the old commodore 64 games.

Yep, $100 at Harvey Norman. The youth of today could learn a thing or two off the old 8 bit Nintendo. Times and graphics were tough back in those days.
