alpenanews0506 | 13 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just going through some paper inserts I have and this one from HAL America caught my eye. In the coming in 1991 section it talks about a game titled "Power Pad Football". Obviously the game never came out, but I wonder how far in development it got. Outside of this advertisement I have never heard of it or talk of it. Wonder how they would have executed the idea. Either way it sounds interesting. Anyone out there have any information regarding this game or its history? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 No info but I know quite a few games made it to Nintendo Power as well without ever releasing. I specifically remember Fire Emblem for SNES getting featured and then never released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Rogers | 77 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) The game you are talking about is called Power Play Football.. It says it right in the text https://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/12/power-play-football-nes-unreleased/ Given that it was going to be published by HAL, it wouldn't be too wrong to assume it would be developed by Sculptured Software (did many HAL games, and did many other sport licensed games see https://tcrf.net/Category:Games_developed_by_Sculptured_Software), which has another unreleased NFL game on the SNES: https://tcrf.net/NFL_Football_(Sculptured_Software) https://snescentral.com/article.php?id=0852 Edited May 9, 2020 by Joshua Rogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fascinated nothing else substantial has surfaced regarding this specific game. Like I said before would have been very interested in how they would have executed the controls related to the Power Pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
