One from the top selling SEGA Genesis games from 1994 would be a football game called Mutant League Football. This new version has already been nominated for the Most Promising IP category in this years Game Connection America 2015 Development awards. In other words it is looking pretty damn good.
Mutant League Football 2nd gen, as we will be calling it, is a tribute to the original game which was very popular during the mid-90s for SEGA Genesis owners. If you’re unfamiliar with this game, essentially it takes Football and sticks a bunch of monsters inside it because the players, adds lots of blood and mayhem, and creates what’s now called Mutant League Football. Farmville am popular back then that is were built with a spin-off game as well called Mutant League Hockey, but in addition the Sega Genesis back in 1994, in addition to a toy line, an animated cartoon series, trading cards, and more.
Mutant League Football Features:
– Mutants vs. Monsters: The stars from the league are wisecracking, Monsters and Mutants with special skills, abilities and weapons. The game will feature Battle Robots, Undead Skeletons, Demons, Orcs, Mutant Super-Humans and Aliens.?
– Full Season Mode: Choose from over 30 teams and play a grueling 13 game season where deaths can carry over from game to game and be mostly of the teams that survives to compete in the Playoffs for a chance to reach the best glory from the Mayhem Bowl.
– Gridiron Carnage: The wildest, goriest, most outrageous football game ever! Players can bring weapons around the gridiron like: clubs, chain saws, shotguns, battle axes and hand grenades to inflict maximum carnage to the opposition. Over the top visual and gore effects including blood splatters, deaths, fire effects, exploding body parts and dismemberment.
– Killer Stadiums: Stadiums are packed with crazed fans cheering their teams on as they go into battle. This isn’t a field of dreams – it’s more like an area of screams, because fields are full of diabolical traps, hazards and obstacles, including mines, toxic moats and lava flows. If the hazards don’t kill you the weather probably will, so watch out for acid rain, blizzards and also the occasional meteor shower.
– Dirty Trick Plays: These are mean, nasty, unfair and lowdown plays meant to hose the opposition and if that does not work, kill them. Each team has its own set of Dirty Tricks including: “Bribe the Ref” – you can give the ref some money to appear the other way. “Beat It” – your Running Back pulls out a huge club and pounds the defense into submission and “Ginormous: – where your Blitzer grows 5X his normal size. Have fun blocking that!
– Tongue-Through-Cheek Humor: A fun, entertaining and off-the-wall parody from the NFL…with the excitement, hard-hitting action, lunacy, unspeakable greed, corporate ruthlessness, hypocrisy and over-the-top egos the NFL provides.
