Beating EVERY N64 Game - NFL Blitz (103/394)

Seen in arcades all across America, NFL Blitz was a huge hit. It was the obvious decision for Midway to port it to consoles to enjoy at home as well. How does the game hold up nowadays though?

“Playing against the computer gets pretty repetitive” runs Dabomb every single play

The reason for the timer on team choice is likely because they just ported it from the arcade, which would want you on a timer to encourage more quarters or so you can't sit there and take up the machine while others are waiting.

ALRIGHT VIDEO 100 CONGRATS THAB!!! you're my favorite streamer man I hope you can make it through all the N64 games man I'll be watching every video and I mean all of them 😄

I absolutely love that you put the same intro blurb in every video in the series, I can't put into words just how much genuine joy I get out of reciting it along with you, word for word. Please don't ever rerecord or omit it, it is perfect the way it is.

There was a skating rink our school would take trips to frequently in middle school and they had the arcade version of this game there. Me and my buddy would save all our money and blow it all playing this game the entire day that we were at the skating rink. This game was way too fun and addicting for its own good. Great times...

When you get to play Madden 99, I had a trick when playing that game that you could just abuse using the Halfback Pass play and end up winning with 100+ points every time.

The fact that every one has it's own individual commentary about facts and details about the game in general and not just streaming footage slapped together is amazing. Will go down in history once he completes this.

I have every Friday off from work and every Friday I sleep in late, wake up and make a coffee and two fried eggs, and watch the latest installment.

Its the highlight of my week, keep going man great stuff.

The timed team select is an artifact of the arcade cabinet era. Applying time pressure to all steps of the game makes it so that 1) players don't hog the cabinet without feeding more coins and 2) the circumstance where players feed coins, but for whatever reason have to leave during team selection, then the game would proceed and get to game over/back to insert coin to start screen before the next players show up with coins in their pockets!

Elways arm is the only thing that keeps him out of my Top 5, and I’m glad this is reflected in Blitz as well. He’s clearly a generational talent with his legs as also seen here

At a fiends a long time ago. Played this game for hours trying to beat it. Played the entire season undefeated and the first game of the playoffs got demolished by the rubber banding. Game over. Good times haha

*Pro tip:* If you throw deep passes, the QB will wind up for the long throw. However, if you jump with *B, * all throws happen _immediately_ when you're in the air. So basically every pass should go *B+A* rather than just *A!* The one possible downside of this is that you're more likely to fumble if you're hit in midair, but because the throw is so fast, that basically never happens!

YUS! Great version of this game, also has a modding community for those wanting updated rosters (including now a 2023 version)!

Bro I would have been deceased if the falcons returned that last kick.

[AleisterMeowley]

Dude has got Bill Romanowski back there returning punts. The gnarliest, dirtiest, cheapest player in league history. This game rules.

[turkeyman]

I played so much Blitz with my brother and friends, holy. I wish there was a company out there that would make an updated Blitz or Slugfest.

[andreweverett]

I'm loving the face inserts into the box art. That's a great touch

[collieman]

If you want to talk crap to your friends and have absolutely the best back and fourth crazy game ever, this is the game for you. This game never disappoints with a group of people

[mlangham]

Finally! 1080 and NFL Blitz were my favorite games! I also like 007, but those were my favorites.

Lol love the sportscaster style for the narration. And every time you say Elway rushes it makes me laugh 😂
