NFL Blitz was also a fantastic game of that era. It’s a shame that sports games all basically are strangled into a mold these days.

- camhenlin 8y agoYeah, totally agreed. Blitz was great because it didn’t try to be too realistic and had a lot of silly and ridiculous stuff, which made it a lot of fun. I don’t like or watch sports, but I did have fun playing Blitz on the N64 with my friends. Games like Madden take themselves too seriously and (IMO of course) only seem to be good for actual sports fans
- bena 8y agoBlitz knew exactly what it wanted to be: arcade football. A sort of spiritual successor to games like Mutant League.
- trophycase 8y agoYeah NFL Blitz was awesome and still play it with my brother to this day.
- dopeboy 8y agoI bought Blitz for the PC and remember playing it using my Microsoft Sidewinder joystick. Sometimes I'd invite my friend over and we'd play against each other on the same computer. He'd get the keyboard and I'd get the joystick. There are some retro venues that still have it. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to find. I wonder if it can be played on Dolphin.
- pathartl 8y agoThe PC version will only play on older systems, but it's seriously worth it. Even in just a XP VM. It's easily the best version of the game.
