NFL Blitz: Special Edition

The first PC conversion of the arcade hit, NFL Blitz gives the National Football League the same over-the-top treatment that Midway had used so effectively with NBA Jam. Features include exaggerated muscle-bound player models, turbo buttons, fast action, and some pretty wild rules changes (like 30 yards for a first down!). Blitz is nothing if not a unique football gaming experience. Player taunts (This is MY HOUSE!), unpenalized late hits, and amusing running commentary from the announcers (That was totally uncalled for -- but awfully fun to watch!) all add to the game's violent charm.
