------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------[ Water Payton Football ]---------------------------- ----------------------------[by Ice Queen Zero]-------------------------------- ---------------------------[ Sega Master System ]------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o---------------------o INTRODUCTION o---------------------o Known as American Football in Europe, this is one of the many games that uses a sports icon's name to sell games related to the sport he was in though by this point, Walter Payton had retired two years prior to this game coming out. Sadly, he passed away in 1999. He was one of football's greatest players who could do it all whether it was running, receiving, and even passing. I'm glad I got to meet him before he died although I was 3 at the time I met him. He was a family friend, may he rest in peace :( o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Walter Payton Football is a trademark of Sega and all copyrights belong to them.

Button 1 = Run the play/pass the ball/choose play Button 2 = Change receiver/defender o---------------------o TEAMS o---------------------o There are 28 teams to choose from. Even though the game didn't have the license to use the team names. The cities are still accurate and I'll name the teams as they appeared at the time and for fun I'll put in the team they are now. AFC West -------- Buffalo Bills Indianapolis Colts Miami Dolphins New England Patriots New York Jets AFC Central ----------- Cincinatti Bengals Clevland Browns (Baltimore Ravens - original) Houston Oilers (Tennessee Titans) Pittsburgh Steelers AFC East -------- Denver Broncos Kansas City Chiefs Los Angeles Raiders (Oakland Raiders) San Diego Chargers Seattle Seahawks NFC West -------- Dallas Cowboys New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles Phoenix Cardinals (Arizona Cardinals) Washington Redskins NFC Central ----------- Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC East -------- Atlanta Falcons Los Angeles Rams (St. Louis Rams) New Orleans Saints San Francisco 49ers o---------------------o GAMEPLAY o---------------------o You start off by playing either a new game or entering a password. The password system applies to Road to Super Bowl mode. Speaking of which, after choosing the options of New Game/Password and a 1 or 2 player game. You choose if you want to play a Monday Night Game (one game exhibition) or Road To Superbowl (tourney). Running Time means that no matter what, the clock keeps running. Real Time means that the clock stops during an incomplete pass or if a player goes out of bounds on the play. In RTSB, if you win you advance to the next round and you will get a password, if you lose then it's game over. After choosing a team, choose your opponent. A coin toss occurs. Pick Heads or Tails. Whoever wins will choose to receive first or kick off. Choosing kickoff will make you receive the ball in the 2nd half. Aside from calling a Timeout (T/O), Punt, or FG, you can choose one of 12 plays. 7 are runs (marked by a red a red line in the playbook) and the other 5 are the passes. -Each game has 4 quaters which are 5:00 or 15:00 long each. After 2 quaters, you go to halftime and another kick off occurs. Whoever kicked off in the first quarter, will receive the ball at the start of the third. -Players can score 7 points by getting a touchdown which is making it to their own end zone via offense like a pass or rush. You can also score a touchdown on defense if you successfully intercept a pass. There seems to be no fumbles in this game. Technically you score 6 points, but you get a 7th point for the PAT. -Players can score 3 points by kicking a field goal successfully through the uprights. It's not as easy as it looks. You must use the right amount of power and the right amount of spin just like with kicking off. You get 3 points if you succed. -This is rare but you can also score 2 points for a safety. I say that this is rare because you have to sack the quarterback or tackle the runner in the end zone. Not only do you get 2 points but you receive possession of the ball via kickoff. -The most points after four quarters is a winner. If the score is tied at the end of regulation. You go into sudden death overtime where the winner is the first team to score. It will end in a tie if no one scores by the end of the overtime period. -The Codes section on GameFAQs says that if you choose a Bomb Pass play and run with it, you will score a Touchdown everytime but that doesn't seem to work at all with me. o---------------------o PLAYS o---------------------o When calling out plays you have a few options first Next = next set of plays (offense) Reverse = previous set of plays (offense) Time out Return = Return Kick formation (defense) Offensive --------- Field Goal Punt HB Dive Counter Power Sweep Right Line Out - Pass Off Tackle QB Sneak Wing Reverse Dropback - Pass QB Draw Post - Pass Bomb - Pass Corner - Pass Defensive --------- Timeout Return -Vs. Run- Goal Line S.S. Run W.S. Run -Vs. Pass- Zone Prevent Blitz Choose the appropiate play to counter the opponent's offense or you'll be sorry. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o Sega for making this game.
