4th & Inches
4th & Inches is a 1988 American football simulation game where players choose offensive and defensive plays, control individual athletes during gameplay, and manage team strategy to outmaneuver opponents. The game features passing plays, blitzes, goal-line defense, and situational decision-making based on player speed and stamina. It includes local two-player matches for head-to-head competition and comes with the Team Construction Disk for customizing rosters, team names, and player attributes. Released on GOG via DOSBox emulation, it preserves the original MS-DOS experience with authentic 80s football gameplay mechanics and no modern enhancements.

Welcome to the pros, rookie.
So you were an All-American? Big deal! This is pro football, baby. It’s time to put down your press clippings and start buttin’ heads with the big boys.
4th & Inches gives you all of the hard-hitting action of real football: the bombs, the blitzing, the goal line stands. You’ll experience graphics and animation that are as riveting as a blind side hit.
As the key player on defense, you’ve got to have speed, stamina and smarts. As the quarterback, you’ve got to read an unforgiving defense that takes no prisoners. Winning at 4th & Inches will take all the moves of a #1 draft choice plus the tactical genius of a veteran head coach.
Remember, this is the big time, hotshot. This is real football. This is 4th & Inches.
