''Pigskin 621 A.D.'' is an arcade game released in 1990 by Bally Midway. One player can battle the computer, or two players can battle head-to-head. Two teams compete to score as many touchdowns as possible in the tradition of American football, but actual play is more similar to rugby football. A version for the Sega Genesis, retitled ''Pigskin Footbrawl'' and endorsed by coach Jerry Glanville was released by Razor Soft in 1992. ==Gameplay== The player directly controls one member of a five-man team, with the object of carrying a football over the opposing team's goal line. The playing area is littered with hazards such as pits, bushes and logs. A ball carrier who trips over any of these, or is punched by an opponent, fumbles the ball. The field is also laden with weapons such as swords, torches and ropes. A player can pick up one of these by running over it. It will appear at the top of the screen next to the player's score as a "concealed weapon", several weapons may be carried at once and one may be carried over after a touchdown. The ball carrier can be "grappled", essentially a mass tackle into which multiple characters can jump. Having a concealed weapon as well as having more characters jump into the grapple greatly increases a team's chance of gaining or retaining possession, although weapons cannot be used if both team captains are in the grapple. A character who is injured by a concealed weapon is out of play until a touchdown is scored. If one team gets too far behind in score, a troll is added to the losing side to help even the odds. Up to two trolls can be in play at a time during a standard game (one per side or two on one side). During a one player "Pro Pigskin" game, if the CPU team continues to lose heavily even after a troll has been added or falls behind very quickly early on, an option for a Troll Bowl will appear. If selected the player will face an entire team of trolls with only human players on their own side. Gameplay tips are given between periods and statistics are given at the end of the game. Statistics cover Goals Scored, Injuries Inflicted and Pigskin Possession Time. Before the game we can read about teams background. Both teams are renegades bands. The blue band is led by thor Akenbak, and the red one's captain is Atilla DeSoil. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pigskin 621 A.D.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
