Computer Quarterback is an American football simulation video game written for the Apple II by Danielle Bunten Berry (credited as Dan Bunten) and published in 1981 by Strategic Simulations. Ports to the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 64 were released in 1984. Add-on disks for new football seasons were also sold by SSI.

Gameplay

Computer Quarterback is a game in which a statistics-based football game features both playbooks for both semi-pro and professional American football.[1]

Development

In a 1997 interview, Danielle Berry talked about the history of the game:<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

"Computer Quarterback" was written only for myself and friends to play on the computer at work. I later converted it from FORTRAN on a mini-computer to BASIC on an Apple II and sent it to Strategic Simulations.[2]
