(NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that NFL Tour, a new NFL and NFL PLAYERS licensed arcade football video game, is now available in retail stores.  In NFL Tour, complex controls are a thing of the past, now any football fan can pull off amazing highlight-reel plays using only a few buttons in fast-paced arcade action.  With intuitive controls, fast-paced gameplay, and visually stunning graphics - NFL Tour is action-packed.

 

NFL Tour offers players a fun, and engaging experience with the NFL and its talented players.  With real NFL players as teammates, players travel across the country to play against each of the NFL teams in newly custom-designed stadiums.
