About

So you tthought footballs were for playing with... think again! Embark on rollercoaster journey in this platform adventure through eerie mining towns, terrifying, deadly forests and infested jungles. All this to search the stadium - and your only weapon - a football! In the Game Gear version, you play as the American player Cal, and the goal of each stage is to collect a certain amount of items to open up the exit to the next level (which is represented by a flag with the Hurricanes logo on it.) There are 12 stages which include a forest, an Incan temple, a mountain, and a locker room.
