HBC Phutball
A downloadable NES game
Head-to-Head Strategy
Originally proposed in 1982 by mathematician John Conway, Phutball (forPhilosophers' Football) pits two players against each other, in a way that cleverly removes traditional piece ownership from other games you might play on a Go board.
Finally on the NES
Homebrew Championship Phutball brings the classic game to the NES, where you and a friend can compete on a playfield optimized for theNintendhino's output resolution.
Featuring…
- a banging soundtrack for contemplative action,
- distinct visuals that merge the title's board game origins with its athletic theming, and
- an adaptive presentation designed for a smooth and intuitive play experience
