4-Player Football Limited Edition
Plans are now underway for the
release in August of a limited edition
version of last season's highly sue-
cessful Atari·4-Player Football™.
Timed to coincide with the begin-
ning of the 1980 football season, the
new release offers the opportunity
to again take full advantage of the
excitement and tie-in possibilities of
what promises to be one of the big-
gest seasons yet.
Ata1'1 4-Player Football is the
ultimate in video sports simulation.
It is the world's only 2 or 4 player
video football attraction. It is also
''team' ' football. For the first time 2
players can play cooperatively
against an opposing 2-man squad in
the 4-player mode.
Production on this Special Edition
will be limited, so place your orders
early with your Atari distributor.
