Rugby World Cup '95 on the Sega Genesis is one of those sports games that somehow nails the chaos of rugby without overcomplicating it. The second you boot it up, you're thrown straight into a match—no fuss, just pick a team and go. The controls are simple enough (pass, kick, tackle), but good luck keeping track of the ball when scrums turn into a pixelated free-for-all.

It’s got all the official teams from the '95 tournament, though let’s be real—you’ll probably just pick New Zealand for the All Blacks’ unstoppable offense. The AI isn’t exactly genius-tier, but matches get surprisingly tense when you’re down by a try in the last few minutes. And yeah, the graphics are pure 16-bit, but there’s something satisfying about those chunky player sprites bulldozing down the field.

If you’ve got nostalgia for mid-90s sports games or just want to see what rugby looked like before hyper-realistic physics, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t expect a deep sim—it’s all about quick, messy fun.
