It feels like it should be Mutant League Football, but apparently that was on Genesis and PSP, neither of which I ever had. This was a DOS game, complete with "DRM" in the form of trivia questions that could only be answered if you had the manual. I feel like I remember flying eyeballs with bat wings being prominent? I'm looking at screenshots of Blood Bowl from 1995 and Brutal Sports Football from 1993 and I don't think it's either of those. Mutant League Football kicked rear end. We were a Nintendo household and that was one of the few games that made me jealous of friends with a Genesis. It was just so over the top batshit insane, it was great. Straight up murdering the refs features prominently in the strategy, for example.

I’m obsessed with Retro Bowl thanks to you dorks. Even if it does become almost impossible to lose after a while because you learn what every possible combination of routes and defenses results in and can spot the mismatch on every down. Then it becomes a different game of trying to surpass your own ludicrous personal records, or win MVP with a RB or whatever. Far more addicting than I thought a little phone football game could ever be.

It’s just an even more naked vehicle for trading card micro transaction poo poo than the main game.

fartknocker posted:Retro Bowl on phone added kickoffs and here you can specify which player is the returner This is cool although I am finding it impossible to pull off a good return on Hard even with a max speed player. It suffers from the same thing any play involving RB's does where you can't juke anyone. The instant you swipe a defender somehow makes a diving tackle from like 8 body lengths away. I suppose that’s realistic but I don’t play retro bowl for realism. I play it to drop 8 TDs on my opponent like it’s the 2007 Pats or Manning Broncos.

A couple days ago I FINALLY got my first kick return TD in Retro Bowl (on Hard). Today I get an update to the game that adds achievements for kick returns

Yeah everything about the style of that second game drives me nuts watching the videos. The whole screen shaking on every hit for example. Seems like it would get old real fast. Legend Bowl looks awesome though, thanks for the tip.

This looks like someone dared to ask “what if we had a football mode in the Grand Theft Auto 3 engine” and I am here for it.
