Play Action Football on Game Boy is one of those old-school sports games that somehow makes blocky pixels feel intense. You pick your team (I always went with the Raiders—no idea if they're actually good here), and suddenly you're calling plays from a tiny menu that somehow makes sense after a few tries. The passing feels a little stiff at first, but once you figure out the timing, threading a deep ball between defenders is weirdly satisfying.

It’s not flashy—just basic football with that classic Game Boy charm. The sound effects are basically bleeps and bloops, but after a while, you start hearing them as actual crowd noise. And yeah, the running game is kinda brutal unless you memorize the exact moment to juke. Still, there’s something about grinding out a last-minute drive with those chunky sprites that hits different. If you’ve got a soft spot for retro sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule.
