I'm really happy this game got a PS1 port. Too bad it's kind of lost in nowhere land, not getting the attetion NBA Jam gets and even that isn't enough. If they'd re-release a compilation of all the Midway 90s arcade sports games I'd buy it without hesitation. Too bad they're not making any new games like those, the last few NBA Jam games were terrible. The PS1port sadly is hampered by long loading times and blurry low resolution compared to the arcade original. Luckily there's MAME, but I would enjoy a more streamlined version.
Yea I’m grateful that it was ported to the PS1, cause at least we have something. I wanna say that I wish a Saturn/N64 port was made but who knows how good/bad it would’ve been. But you’re right, sucks that it never got a sequel or a re-release and it’s just in purgatory. And I would 1000% purchase that compilation in a heat beat lol. I still play the ps1 game from time to time but nothing compares to the arcade game like you said. I’m not big on Arcade 1up, but if they released a cabinet of that game, I think I would pull the trigger and buy it
Arcade version. Played it with a great friend of mine back in the day! Fun times that’s for sure. Even though I remember we only played this like once lol. Also remember having this on my pc on MAME a very long time ago. Fun game that’s for sure!
@@agentchris1482 same! I loved playing this as a kid in the arcades and picked this up on the ps1 later on when I was older. Obviously the arcade is way better but it’s still awesome!
A lot of fun pick-up games on arcade. Still got the mame and play it once in a while, got itfor PS1, but need a US console. Will def. buy it for a raz pie.
Great review. I’m going to pick this up now
Thanks, Reggie! Love your videos/channel btw. Yea definitely pick it up. Game is awesome
$75-125$ 😢
“I just wanna pop it in, and have a good time with my buddies”. No truer words have been spoken about the magic of the PS1
Hell yea 🤘🏻 It’s the best part of older games. No downloads, no insane learning curve, just straight arcade awesomeness
Love playing this game at Gordie Howe's Tavern in Traverse City. Try playing the MAME Rom of this game, brings back awesome arcade memories!
Wow a place to play it.
Yea I have to play it on MAME. I grew up with the arcade version. So awesome

Would definitely buy that cabinet, perfect size, too.
What are your memories of this game? Arcade or PS1?

@@andreinybakken9252 nice! Yea I had so much fun with this back in the arcade that I picked it up for the PS1
Great Vid !
Thank you!
1:26 man now NFL Blitz/NFL Blitz2000 now that right there was the shit!
Hell yea, man! NFL Blitz is by far my favorite football game ever. Such arcade goodness
This port sucks because if you play one player you don’t get to control both players on your team. You have to always have cpu play one of your guys.
Yea that is a bummer. It’s not a perfect port, but it’s still great and a lot of fun. Unfortunately, this is the only version that we ever got.
