#80. NFL Blitz (N64, 1997)

I totally blanked on including NHL Hitz 02 and 03. Great games. That said, man do I love me some NFL Blitz. I am a huge football fan, but Madden never really clicked with me. Like they were fine, but not something I wanted to play a ton. I never discovered Tecmo Super Bowl til years later. So for a long time Blitz was it for me with football games. There is something so satisfying about leaping 15 feet in the air to spear a guy trying to make an acrobatic catch. Bills are of course my team, but I spent a ton of time as the Bengals in this game and it is where my love of them came from. Carl Slim Pickens was the man in this. Toss it up to him and come down with a TD. My buddy and I did a lot of random team choices. Da Bomb and Sub Zero are the go to plays in this game. Also loved that you could add your own plays. I had this cross slants route that constantly led to wild diving catches.

Shout out to Elvis Grbac.
