Front Page Sports: Football Pro

(sigh) They don't make games like that anymore...

...they also don't make expansions anymore instead of full game ugrades, either. (sigh)

Yah it was a great series, I have to say I enjoyed the original one the most. Football Pro 99 was looking to be pretty good until they recalled it. I also liked the Baseball Pro series.

Re: Front Page Sports: Football Pro

Yep, I spent a ton of time as a kid playing Frontpage Football. I used to laugh as I turned off the penalties, walked right around the line, and waited patiently for the QB to hike the ball. That was a whole lot of fun for an 8 year-old. I remember all the customization options but I don't think I used them that much because I mostly just wanted to play.

Re: Front Page Sports: Football Pro

FPSFB is still my favorite FB ever. Spent many a night coming up with plays and gameplans. When we played we had to use our own plays we created etc.. Simply a blast. Still own every one of them including the first one without the NFL and the recalled FBPro99.

(I also have all FPSBB games)

Re: Front Page Sports: Football Pro

I started playing online on CompuServe in with FbPro '95. I played almost 10 years online with this series.

I used to spend hours working on my PPP's. I won a few championships but the most fun was the human interaction in the draft, trading, etc...

Good times!

Playing on AOL was like playing a three hour real NFL game cause the game would get out of sync every so often.

Re: Front Page Sports: Football Pro

I never played online live. Everything was just a week to week basis like FOF/BBCF.

I can't remember a lot of the guys that made it fun but I remember a few. I actually found an old link with my name in it. These names bring back a lot of memories.
