Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl is one of those weird early '90s sports games where someone clearly said, "What if football... but also people just beat the hell out of each other?" It's got this bizarre energy—real NFL coach Jerry Glanville slapped his name on it, which feels like either a joke or a cry for help. You pick teams with names like "Bruise Brothers" and "Psychos," then proceed to tackle, punch, and occasionally set players on fire. The actual football part is almost an afterthought.
First time I booted it up, I thought it was broken—the camera zooms way out, the players look like ants, and the whole thing moves at this weird, janky pace. But after a few minutes of elbows to the face and watching your running back spontaneously combust, it kinda clicks. Not a good game by any normal standard, but there's something charming about how unapologetically stupid it is. If you ever wanted to see a pixelated linebacker dropkick a referee, this is your moment.
