the console ports totally fail in comparison to the arcade game imo they just couldnt capture what made the arcade game so cool on the 16 bit systems



i remember when i first seen it in the arcades when i was 8 i was totally blown away!

arcade is much better, but I still enjoy the Genesis version of Super High Impact.. its easy and fast to pick up and just go.

Silly Americans, calling a game Football when it rarely involves contact between feet and a ball.

This brings a question: Do Europeans generally enjoy playing American football games on video game consoles?

I mean there are sectors of American society where soccer is enjoyed, and soccer games sell in the US for every console out there. Does the same hold true for American football titles across the Atlantic?

Well I can't speak for the whole of Europe but here in the UK, generally no. The likes of Madden and NFL 2Kx barely make a dent in the gaming charts but NFL as a sport does have a small following over here, which can be seen by the sellout games at Wembley Stadium. I think the problem with NFL trying to gain popularity here is that us, along with France and Italy, already play a very similar sport in rugby; you won't walk into a bar and see NFL on the TV over here like you would rugby. I suspect that NFL's popularity here is limited, and if there were more than one event per year the likelihood of every game being a sellout would be much lower.

Maybe it's because it's so easy to score, but I really enjoy the original Joe Montana Football. Very arcadey, but a lot of fun to play.

The version with the Talking was a good one too wasn't it? I don't remember it too well....

I can't stand American Football anymore (as a kid it was cool, but now as an adult, meh)... Rugby is so much more entertaining to watch: it's rougher, more fast paced, and the hits are beyond brutal.
