DESCRIPTION
Micromatt Football Fury 1.01, the football strategy
game for Windows. Pick your plays from over a
dozen available to get your team into the endzone
as soon as possible. Play by yourself, with a
friend, or just watch "from the sidelines" and let
the computer do all the work controlling both
teams. You can get up-to-the-minute statistics on
your game, go for a two point conversion, risk an
onside kick, pick any team from the Æ97 pro
football roster etc.
INSTALLATION
To install the program, run the SETUPEX.EXE file.
In the setup program, select the appropriate
options or simply choose the defaults presented
to you.
HOW TO REGISTER
This shareware program is bundled with a program
called REGISTER which will accept information
needed to make an order. With it, you can order
via postal mail, email or fax using cash,
Mastercard, Visa, American Express or First
Virtual. All credit card information is encoded
for your security. The REGISTER program is
available by clicking any button which says
Order, or by clicking on Register in the Help
menu.
You can also order online! Goto
http://www.kagi.com/micromatt to order
online on a secured site.
If you cannot print your ordering information,
email it, nor register on the Internet, then see
the ORDER.TXT file included with this archive or
the Football Fury help file.
HOW TO PLAY
The first thing you need to do is open the
application using the Start Menu in Windows 95,
or by using the Program Manager in Windows 3.1. A
new game will automatically be started when the
program is opened; or use the New Game item in
the Game menu to start a new game if you have
already opened the application. When a new game is
started, you will be prompted first to choose a
mode of play. Your choices are:
Player vs. Computer
Player vs. Player
Computer vs. Computer
With either of the modes involving the computer,
the player has no control over the actions of the
game when the computerÆs team has possession of
the ball.
The next step is to select the teams for the
game. Click on the name of the team you want for
team one, then click on the OK button. After a
slight pause, you will be able to select team two
from the list. Clicking on OK the second time
will notify you of the winner of the coin toss.
When you close the coin toss message box, the
play clock will begin and the game will be
underway.
If a team not controlled by the computer is set
to kick, then you must use the Kick menu to
select either a normal kickoff, or to attempt an
onside kick. Once your team has the ball you may
use the Pass, Run, and Kick menus to select the
plays you wish to run. On a touchdown play ran by
a player, rather than the computer, you will be
asked whether you want to go for a two point
conversion, or the extra point.
Once you are playing a game, you can get the
statistics of the current game by choosing Stats
from the Game menu. Also on the Game menu is an
item labeled CPU Speed. This affects the speed at
which the computer picks its plays when it is
controlling a team. If it becomes hard to follow
the game when the computer has the ball you
should select a lower speed from this menu.
Slower computers should use a slower speed for
most predictable results. Another feature
available on the Game menu is Smart Stop. When
this menu item has a check by it, the game you are
playing will be paused when the Football Fury
window is deactivated. Your game will stop the
clocks and will not continue running until you
return to it; in other words, it won't continue
playing in the background. For example, if you
opened the help file from the Help menu, your game
would pause until you returned to it, thus
preventing accidental delay of games. Clear the
check next to Smart Stop if you want your game to
continue while you do other work. This is
particularly useful when the game mode is set to
Computer vs. Computer and you'd like to be able to
do other things and just check in on the score of
the game.
