Classic American Football is an upcoming sports game from IsoTyger Studios, bringing back some retro fun in a neat looking package.

Explaining it more the developer said - "The goal was a football game that plays like the arcade classics people grew up with, quick to start and easy to read, but with a career mode deep enough to carry you through multiple seasons. Every team, mascot and stadium is original, and the art style is inspired by retro cartoons, colors, and textures".

Seems like a nice one for fans of classic sports games.
