Play Nfl Blitz 2001 Online

NFL Blitz 2001 came out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, published by Midway. It was part of that wave of arcade sports games trying to fit onto the small screen, a time when you hoped the portable version kept the spirit of the bigger console and arcade originals. You knew it wouldn't be the same, but you took it on the bus anyway.

You control a seven on seven football team, picking plays and then scrambling to move the ball downfield. The main goal is to outscore your opponent within the four short quarters of a game. Signature mechanics include the ability to pull off aggressive tackles, sometimes well after the whistle, and a turbo button that gives your players a quick burst of speed. The game moves fast, with a simplified playbook that keeps the action immediate, though the difficulty can spike sharply against the computer. It feels like a chaotic, condensed version of football where you're always one big hit away from turning the game around.
