Play Nfl Blitz Online

I remember picking up NFL Blitz for the Game Boy Color back in 1998. It was a Midway Games release, a time when getting a decent arcade sports game on a handheld felt like a small miracle. This was the era of the Color, and having a fast paced football game in your pocket was the main draw.

You control a team of seven players per side, a stripped down version of football focused on quick, high scoring plays. The main objective is to outscore your opponent by moving the ball downfield, either by running or passing. Signature mechanics include the ability to perform aggressive tackles after the whistle has blown and to throw long bomb passes for huge gains. The game moves at a frantic pace, with the difficulty coming from the sheer speed of the action and the computer's relentless offense. It feels like a chaotic, over the top version of football where every play can break wide open.
