A glorious game of its time, Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl gave us footbawl the way God intended it- with barbarians murdering each other with weapons and one giant play that never ended (except for breaks). It was like street rugby, but the developers decided "Footbrawl" made a better wordplay than "Thugby". A team getting destroyed would result in a super-powered troll being subbed in. That ******* was long and lean, angry and green, get him pissed off and he'd go straight for your spleen. And THAT, my friend, is why football videogames suck now compared to the 90's. Mutant League Football gets an honorable mention for actually trying to be more like football and having high-larious puns for names along with on-field deaths.
I like the look of it.....I had never heard of it before and I thought I knew of all the good games on the mega-drive.
They were talking this nonsense back in Pernell Whitaker's fighting days. He was tempted to try out but then thought better of it. He didn't want to destroy some young kids chance at Olympic glory. I hope Wlad reconsiders. Let the up and coming young bucks the chance to shine and sort out the elite from the also-rans.
