I played this game a whole lot as a kid. It's got good music and a fun gameplay loop that continuously gets tougher. But it's so low resolution you have to play in a smaller window. I'd love to see this game get released and be compatible with higher resolutions without becoming a pixelated mess. It was great fun learning the 3 levels and memorizing all possible flag spawn locations and trying to see how high a level I could get to before being beaten. I pull this game up every so many years to re-experience it.
When I was younger I never understood how to play this game. I would just ram myself into the CPU. It wasn't until i saw my parents played, is when I figure out the right way.

Chaos LeagueChaos League is a fantasy-based sports management game developed by Cyanide Studios and published by Digital Jesters. It was released in Europe on 8 August 2004 and later in North America on 8 March 2005. The game is a spin on American football, the violence of the Medieval football with no rules and rugby-style of sports yet set in a fantasy world with teams being made up of fantasy races such as dwarves, elves, orcs and undead, along with the use of magic and other fictional elements during a "match". The tone of the game is satirical with comedic color commentary and adverts for fictional in-game universe products. An official expansion was later released in 2005 bundled with the original, titled Chaos League: Sudden Death that added new features and gameplay tweaks.
While not a direct video game adaption, Chaos League bears resemblance to Games Workshop's Blood Bowl tabletop board game, which is also about fantasy sports. Cyanide Studios would later develop the video game version of Blood Bowl in 2009, which itself utilizes certain features from Chaos League.Action Fantasy Comedy Business
