ABC Monday Night Football.....my first thoughts.

I purchased this package for $39 at the local Amiga dealership.  This
package contains the software and a video tape (I have not looked at 
the video tape yet).  The software is done by Data East.

The game is installable on the hard disk and does _not_ kick out
the operating system.  It does not appear to multitask however.

The software comes on three disks and the hard disk installation
went without a hitch.

I started the game and was pleasantly surprised with the startup
graphics.  The sound was digitized and was monotone.  I believe
the quality could have been much better, but I bet the memory 
constrants caused by the 512k users were probablly considered.  
Too bad!

The football game itself is pretty good.  There are no crowd
noises but you can hear a scratchy digitized sound of the quarterback
calling out.   The play feels ok, but it seems a bit difficult to
orient yourself when the quarterback is surveying the recievers.
I was surprised that the you had to still look at your defense
from the offensive perspective.  I would have liked the view to
change depending on whether I am the offense or the defense.

In a brief, it seems like a "ok" program.  If you are football
addict you will like it enough to want to purchase it.  It 
certainly is a _great_ value if you have a VCR! :-)
