U losers don`t realize your throwing stupid ad-lib commentary on a legendary game. The game gods will give you hell for this blasphemy.

[NewGenGamers]

Adding stupid ad-lib commentary to legendary games is what we do. I think the game gods would be cool with it. Remember, they're games, don't take them too seriously.

And besides Tecmo Bowl pwns this affair. It seems that many designers believe adding robots will make a subpar sports game better. To date this has not been proven to be true. I won't say that this is a bad game, but come on, 2 teams that's it. Thanks for viewing.

Obviously these guys didn't play this game in the arcades back in the day or they'd let their quarterback get banged up a bit so you could upgrade him to titanium.

Man I remember playing in tournaments! What a great game this was.

1. Mutant Leauge Football did not suck.

2. They relesed a hockey game, too.

@macallan30forme Haha. Thanks, man, I really needed the laugh. No, I'm not the guy. That cat would just crush us, though. It's odd how well I can remember stupid shit like that while far more important things slip my mind.

[macallan30forme]

I used to play this game back in the late 80s/early 90s. There was a 30-something year old guy who was always at the arcade playing. He worked for UPS and flat out ruled this game. 10 Yard Fight was right next to Cyberball, and this dude could easily beat my friend and me at Cyberball while simultaneously beating 10 Yard Fight on his own. At the time I thought he was awesome. Now that I'm his age, he seems so pathetic. ...and creepy.

I think you comments are fine. I am surpised that they have not made a more "modern" version of this game. Back it the day (1987) it was quite a popular game.

"ball status - cool" sounds like bio engineered underwear

The great thing about this game in the arcade was that the machine was 2 sided, with 2 sets of controllers on each side to allow for 4 human players. It made for some intense battles! Me and my partner used to have the 2 LB defense, and crush the competition with interceptions. The LBs were strong enough to bump the WRs out the way for the easy pic. Great game!!!
