===== Description =====

Head Coach version 3 is a football sports simulator, where the war on the field is often decided by the decisions of a lone figure walking on the sidelines. If American football interests you, read on now: you will be able to, and even more will want to, play head coach. Mind you, if you're the kind of person who cares about the Minnesota Vikings' completion rate, this could be the ideal way to ease your close-season withdrawal symptoms.

You're the head coach, and though the chaos on the field seems unplanned, you know your carefully crafted game plan is starting to work, and the decision to use the extra defensive lineman on the first down is putting devastating pressure on the team. opposition star quarterback. It's his first year as head coach in the NFL, and in the short time left before the season starts, he'll have to know all 45 of his players well enough to avoid embarrassment in his first regular-season game. The likes of the Chicago Bears, the Washington Redskins, the 49ers and the L.A. Raiders stand between you and Superbowl glory. You have to choose the team and call the plays for a mythical team, the Schoburg Franklins. However, you play against real NFL teams and the names of all your favorite stars constantly appear; somehow it's reassuring that the Chicago Bears' Jim McMahon throws you a touchdown pass instead of a full length. There are regular updates as players on opposing teams change.

Each game lasts about half an hour, but choosing the team can take hours. You have a 50 word description of all 45 players - their backgrounds, strengths and weaknesses, you can get every conceivable stat on your players, you can 'go to training camp' where you get recommendations from other coaches and you can speed test your players. players, fast runners. The most important thing is the list of injuries (you have to remember to replace these people).

You can monitor your team from preseason games through the regular season and (hopefully) all the way to the SuperBowl, and call every single play in every game. Fail and get fired, succeed and you could be a SuperBowl winner.

Your task will be favored in several ways. First of all, a large number of statistics are available to you, recording the match performance of each player. Rigorous training sessions and time trials can help you select players who no longer have what it takes, and the college draft will give you a chance to find that much-needed star player.

There are virtually no graphics, just a representation of where you are on the field, and only 30 seconds to call plays for the offense or face a five-yard penalty (they're all real rules). There are 26 offensive plays to choose from, from a 'dive' run to a 'Hail Mary' pass, but luckily the options show up on the screen at the right time. You have 21 defensive plays to choose from, only described by the way the players line up on the field (3-1-7 or 8-1-2), so a little insight into the way the game is played! game is vital!

Having chosen your team and your game, you are in the hands of fate. Will Muckenstraum fire the opposing quarterback? Will Bing Rawlings turn the ball over again? And most importantly, will Kim Van Oberdorf catch her fourth down Hail Mary and score a touchdown? Probably not.

At the bottom are the results with the scores from every game in the league printed on a neat 'ticker' screen and then the depressing news that you're bottom of your division and looking likely to get fired.

If you're already a fan of the Gridiron then "HEAD COACH v3" will test how much you really know, and if you're just a beginner then it's the ideal way to learn. In fact, there's only one thing that can stop you from winning the Superbowl, and that's YOU!

This is where Head Coach takes on the aspect of an adventure game. If he shuts down and goes to bed, when he restarts the updated details, the stats and results will still be there along with the schedule for the rest of the season.

This show is more of a labor of love than a pure business venture. No programmer would have lavished this attention to detail on a computer game unless he was intensely interested in the game. So detailed is the design that at the end of each season, the ages of the players in the database are automatically increased by one year! For the football fan this could be obsessive.
