Play Jerry Glanville Pigskin Footbraw Online

Jerry Glanville Pigskin Footbraw came out for the Sega Genesis in 1990, published by Tradewest. It was part of that early wave of Genesis sports titles trying to carve out a niche, though it definitely wasn't your typical football game. You could find it on the shelf alongside more straightforward simulations, but it promised something a little rowdier.

You control a team of football players in a side-scrolling brawl. The main goal is to get the football into the opposing team's end zone, but the real focus is on the fighting. You punch, kick, and tackle opponents to clear a path; you can even pick up weapons like bats and trash can lids that appear on the field. The game progresses screen by screen, and the pacing is frantic because enemies constantly respawn and swarm you. It feels less like a sport and more like a chaotic street fight where a football happens to be involved.
