Gameplay
editHead Coach is a game in which the player is the head coach of an American football team, taking them through the season to get to the Super Bowl.[1] The player is the coach of a fictional team called the Schoburg Franklins.[1][2][3]
Reception
editJohn Harrington reviewed Head Coach for Games International magazine, and gave it a rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "It is gratifying to see a small British software company come up with a reasonable sport simulation, and although the game will probably pall after a few seasons it should maintain its appeal long enough to get gridiron junkies through the baseball season."[1]
Desmond for The Micro User wrote that the game is "fascinating and good fun - excellent tor bringing out the emotions" and quipped that not many games get him emotional enough to shout at the screen the way this one did.[2]
Damon Howarth for Page 6 recommended the game to anyone with any interest in American football, commenting that anyone who wants to "use your computer in conjunction with your brain rather than just a picture gallery" may be interested in this program.[3]
