TouchDown Fever
触地得分热
TouchDown Fever is an American football arcade game released by SNK in 1987. Players control a football team from a top-down perspective, managing offensive plays to advance down the field and score touchdowns against the opposing team. Before each play, the player selects from a set of offensive formations and routes, then executes the snap and attempts to run or pass the ball past defenders. The game uses a joystick and button setup typical of SNK arcade hardware. Defensive players pursue the ball carrier, adding urgency to each possession. The game progresses through a series of matches against increasingly difficult opponents, with the goal of winning a championship. TouchDown Fever offers a simplified but playable take on football suited to the arcade format.
