CHICAGO, Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iiRcade Inc., the ultimate connected arcade machine that allows gamers of all ages to play their favorite retro and modern games in arcade style at home, is bringing 10-Yard Fight, officially licensed from Tozai, Inc. and Irem Software Engineering Inc., to the iiRcade platform.
The retro football game was released in Japanese arcades in 1983 and has five levels of increasing difficulty: high school, college, professional, playoff, and Super Bowl. If the player wins both halves of an "accelerated real time" 30-minute half at an easier level, the player advances to the next level of difficulty, similar to a career mode.
Game Machine Magazine listed 10-Yard Fight in their January 1, 1984 issue as being the most-successful new table arcade unit of the year. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called it the "patriarch of football games" while The Journal News called it an "immortal classic."
Scott Tsumura, Co-Founder of Tozai, Inc., produced 10-Yard Fight in 1983 when he was working with IREM. It became one of the 17 launch titles on NES in North America (15 developed by Nintendo; 2 developed by IREM). "It was so fun to learn this sport which was not popular in Japan at that time," said Tsumura.
"Eventually people liked it and it became a hit. I'm glad this game is with iiRcade and people can enjoy it again."
"We're excited to bring the original arcade version of 10-Yard Fight to iiRcade," said Jong Shin, founder & CEO of iiRcade. "10-Yard Fight is a classic, both in the mid-eighties home consoles as well as in the arcade. iiRcadians will really enjoy this nostalgic football offering."
