Facebreaker

I'd like to see a High Impact Football rev, personally.

[Cheebs]

Sports games that are so over the top to the point that they become caricatures of the sports themselves. And they started out in arcades with NBA Jam and Blitz. Hence arcade + sports.

How old are you? 12?

Arch Rivals sez "hi".

[Cheebs]

And while we're at it, "Arcade Sports" does not live and die on "goofy" characters and "exaggerated" animations.

It's all about ease of play vs depth and details.

[YellerDog]

And "Pigskin".

Where are the weird sports games?

[bVork]

This demo sucks. It's like rock/paper/scissors played out five times every second. There's no depth beyond mashing and hoping you predict the next movement of your opponent.

Mutant League Football?

[YellerDog]

Exactly. Ex-actly.

[Rumpy]

New Mutant League games would rule. And road rash.

[FirstBlood]

Obviously there were games like this before the ones I posted. But I think it's safe to say that they hit a pinnacle of popularity with NBA Jam.

[MechDeus]

And with good cause, NBA Jam was fucking amazing.
