Computer Football Strategy (also known as Football Strategy[3]) is a computer game that simulates the National Football League from a strategic point of view on the Commodore 64 in addition to the Atari 8-bit family console system.[2] The basic choice of teams span from the 1966 Green Bay Packers (the winners of Super Bowl I) to the 1982 Washington Redskins (the winners of Super Bowl XVII - the most recent Super Bowl as of the game's release).[2] The game uses a top-down perspective in order to properly simulate the football field.[2]

The game shows the football field as a small, thin strip divided into ten-yard lines.[4] Four basic graphics serve as "American football players" while having X's and O's would have been more realistic (because coaches use these in real-life football to write playbooks for the team players).[4]
