NFL Blitz
Platforms: Microsoft Windows · Nintendo 64 · arcade video game machine
A high-octane football arcade game brings the over-the-top, fast-paced fun of NBA Jam to the gridiron, letting players dominate the field with exaggerated action and no-holds-barred play.
NFL Blitz is an American football video game developed and published by Midway for the arcade in 1997. It marked the beginning of the NFL Blitz series and was designed to bring the over-the-top arcade-style gameplay of NBA Jam to football. The game features exaggerated action and fast-paced play, with a focus on entertainment over realism. NFL Blitz was later ported to the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Windows, and Game Boy Color in 1998. The cover athlete for the game was Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart.
