NFL Blitz takes the idea of a normal football video game and turns it on its head with fewer players, bigger hits, and lots of personality.

BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE
There were multiple summers for me as a kid where we played quite a few arcade games. This was one I put quite a bit of money into. It made me like football when I could not have cared less.
It's wacky.
I do not care about football. I ESPECIALLY did not care about football at age 8 or so when I would play the shit out of this. Therefore, this is by far the best football game of all time.
Kiss, Marry, Kill: This Game, Space Jam, Insane Clown Posse. Go.
Playing this outrageous, violent football game before ever actually watching football led to quite the disappointment later on but oh well.
Spamming the tackle button so your dudes go UGH UGH UGH UGH is peak video games.

Break time!
I used to play this cabinet during my breaks at Nintendo for some reason. Well, when others weren't playing it, that is. It was quite popular with the few bro's there. Actually, even if you hate American football like I do and have no idea what you're doing, it's a solidly fun game.
It's fun because it is ridiculous. There's some announcer dude yelling random things all the time. The players make bonkers plays every time, jump around incessantly, and do more violence than Mortal Kombat. The graphics are pretty great for the time and the only thing that really annoys me about it is the play selection sound (and that I don't know what plays do, really). It's a fast-paced and exciting version of a pretty boring and commercialized sport and you get a solid amount of play for your quarters. I can see why the bro's played it!
"That was uncalled for, but a lot of fun to watch."
