10-Yard Fight, Interceptions in


DREAD the interception!

It should have been your moment of glory. Your receiver is open. You’re ready to pass. You push the button and… WTF!? Your football has somehow flown sideways, right into the arm of a leaping thug from the opposing team. The action stops, your heart has died, the game is over as you run out of time. It’s not fair! It’s never fair!

Interceptions in the arcade classic 10-Yard Fight were largely unpredictable and one of the leading causes of stress among young gamers in 1984.

To this day, we’ve yet to find anything as frustrating as a 10-Yard Fight interception. Presidential elections, divorce, surprisingly transgendered hookers and global warming are the only things that come even close.

Were they more annoying than the interceptions in NFL Blitz 2001 where they only seem to happen in the last quarter if you are leading the computer by a huge margin.

Yes, because I didn’t have to pop in a quarter every time it happened in “Blitz.”
