Man, ESPN Sunday Night NFL on SNES takes me back. It’s one of those early football games where the players look like little pixelated tanks, but man, does it nail that old-school arcade feel. You pick your team—I always went with the Cowboys back then—and just dive into these fast, chaotic games where every tackle sounds like a car crash.

The playbooks are simple enough that you’ll figure out a few go-to moves fast (sneak in a Hail Mary when the defense isn’t looking), but the AI actually puts up a decent fight. And yeah, the graphics are obviously dated now, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about watching your tiny receiver break free for a touchdown while the crowd goes nuts in that classic SNES chirpy-cheer sound.

If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule from when football games were more about fun than hyper-realism. Just don’t expect Madden-level depth—it’s all about quick, messy, nostalgic action.
