ABC Monday Night Football lets you play as one of 28 teams in a Season, Exhibition or Two Player contest. Select from four running plays or four passing plays to guide your offense, with the option to change your playbook before each game or during halftime. Defense involves selecting the offensive play you think the opponent is going to run and trying to stop it. The game is played from a vertical perspective of the field without requiring the use of passing windows to spot open receivers.

Statistics and season progress are saved to battery, so you don't have to worry about writing down long passwords. ABC Monday Night Football also features the digitized speech of Frank Gifford, instant replay, and special Super Plays, which involve rapidly tapping the button while a cinema shows your receiver or running back in action. Only two Super Plays are allowed per half, however, and the defense can counter them by tapping the button faster. While neither the NFL nor NFLPA licenses were acquired for the game, teams and players closely follow their professional counterparts from the 1992 season. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
