I found this on my bookshelf in my basement office. It’s the instruction manual for the APBA Pro League Football Game aka APBA Football for DOS. I barely remember playing this game so I guess it didn’t make a big impression on me. I’m sure it was a fine game for its time but like the APBA Baseball game, I just preferred the dice version.
It’s a 58 page manual and was initially published in 1989. It covered installation, setup and playing the game. Credit was given to Sam and Diane Bigger and Gridlock Associates.
As you can see from the first page of the table of contents, the game was delivered via 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and ran on MS-DOS.
Chapter 7: Understanding APBA ratings. Note the disclaimer by APBA if you’ve “tampered” with the offensive indexes.
The last page gives due credit to Sam and Diane Bigger and Gridlock Associates. Above, you get to see some of the old DOS commands that we had to endure as end users to install the game, play it and create organizations.
The back cover lists all of the games offered by APBA in 1989.
I’d love to see a manual for the DOS baseball game!
i need the proper way to set my path configuration, 1, 2 3 and 4. I will appreciate the input
