''Flipper Football'' was promoted as an "electromechanical replica" of TheBeautifulGame, a claim that it fully lives up to. Instead of the [[PinballScoring overinflated scores]] and [[WizardMode objective-based gameplay]] in most {{pinball}} games, the player simply tries to score the most goals against the opposing team. While the crowds cheer and cuss, move the pinball up the playfield, knock down the dropdown targets to open an opportunity, then shoot the ball into the goal before they pop back up. Draining the ball counts as a goal against the player, and the game ends when the clock runs out. The game supports up to six people, placing them into teams against each other.

* PinballScoring: Averted hard.

* CreatorKiller: Some observers believe ''Flipper Football'' was the straw that broke the back of Capcom Pinball, though others believe the division was already on such shaky ground with upper management that nothing could've saved it.

* StillbornFranchise: ''Flipper Football'' was advertised as Capcom's first "Interplay Display" pinball game; the dot-matrix display was mounted in the cabinet, and would respond when the player struck targets underneath it (such as shots against the opposing team's goal). Needless to say, no other "Interplay Display" games were ever made.

By all accounts, ''Flipper Football'' is a terrific and rowdy party game, accurately recreating the frenzy of a soccer match when several players go against each other. However, uneven teams almost always led to blowouts, while the single-player experience was simply too dull and unorthodox for most players. In the end, only 750 machines were made before the company closed its pinball division, leaving ''Flipper Football'' a memorable coda to Capcom Pinball's history.
