The Nintendo Switch gets its first football game next week, but despite it being a classic, you’ve likely never heard its name. The game isn’t Madden, Tecmo Bowl or Mutant League Football — or should I say Mutant Football League? No, the first American football game to hit the Switch will instead be 10-Yard Fight.

Developed by the Japanese studio Irem and originally released in arcades in 1983, 10-Yard Fight offered players of that time a dramatically pared-down take on American football. The game featured nine players a side, instead of 11, which was still a more advanced rendition of the sport than was available in football games released on early home consoles.
