Joe Montana Football

On the field, you have access to 24 predefined plays that can be chosen from for both offense and defense. If unsure about which play to use, the option "Joe's Play" is available as a hint for inexperienced coaches. The gameplay style is similar to classic arcade games, with no coaching options or player statistics.

During gameplay, you can control any defensive player or choose one of four offensive roles: quarterback, receiver, running back, or kicker.

Notably, the game does not have an official NFL license, so instead of playing against real teams like the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, you'll face fictional opponents. Joe Montana remains the only NFL player with a name in the game.
