Super Sunday

1987Amerikkalaista jalkapalloa kutsutaan ruohokenttien shakiksi, sillä vauhdikkaasta ja raisusta ilmiasustaan huolimatta kyse on hienovaraisten strategioiden kaksintaistelusta. Tietokonefutikset ovatkin keskittyneet juuri pelinrakentamiseen. Pelaaja(t) valitsee mielestään parhaan taktiikan ja siihen sopivimman miehityksen kentälle.

Suomalaisittain katsoen jenkkifutispelit ovat aina narahtaneet samaan ongelmaan - ohjelman käyttöohjeiden laatijat eivät ole voineet kuvitellakaan, ettei joku osaisi pelin sääntöjä. Pääpaino on pantu erikoistilanteisiin sopivien taktiikoiden esittelylle. Samaten vuolaasti esitellyt eri Super Bowl (?!?) -finalistien ominaisuudet voivat jäädä alaa harrastamattomalle utopiaksi.

Super Sunday on tyypillinen lajinsa edustaja. Toiminta rajoittuu kuvainnollisesti pelikentän laidalla istumiseen, mutta net ken tykkää jenkkifutailusta ynnä aivovoimistelusta, saattavat pitää myös tästä ohjelmasta.

1987American football is called chess on grass, because despite its fast and rough appearance it is a duel of subtle strategies. So computer football games have concentrated on exactly that: building the plays. The player(s) choose what they reckon is the best tactic and the line-up best suited to it on the field.

From a Finnish point of view, Yank football games have always come unstuck on the same problem - the people who wrote the program's instructions couldn't even imagine that someone might not know the rules of the game. The main emphasis has been put on presenting tactics suited to special situations. Likewise, the lavishly described attributes of the various Super Bowl (?!?) finalists may well remain a distant utopia to anyone who doesn't follow the sport.

Super Sunday is a typical specimen of its kind. The action is limited, figuratively speaking, to sitting on the sidelines, but those who fancy Yank footballing along with some brain gymnastics may well take to this program too.
