NFL Quarterback Club 98 was one of those late '90s football games that tried to go toe-to-toe with Madden—and honestly, it holds up better than you'd think. The animations are surprisingly smooth for an N64 game, especially when your QB gets absolutely leveled by a linebacker. You can practically feel the crunch.

It’s got all the usual modes—season, exhibition, even a QB challenge where you try to nail perfect throws under pressure. The playbook isn’t as deep as Madden’s, but calling audibles actually feels satisfying, especially when you catch the defense sleeping on a play-action. And yeah, the stadiums look like someone smeared Vaseline on the textures, but there’s something charming about that blocky late-'90s 3D.

If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule—just don’t expect it to play like modern football sims. It’s all about that nostalgic, slightly janky N64 energy.
