Why NFL Blitz (1997) Is the Best NFL Game Ever and Why It Belongs on GOG
Released in 1997, NFL Blitz redefined football video games with its bold, arcade-style approach. Unlike traditional simulations that focused on realism, NFL Blitz threw the rulebook out the window—featuring exaggerated hits, late tackles, and lightning-fast gameplay that emphasized fun over formality. This made it stand out not just among NFL games, but among all sports titles. It distilled football down to its most exciting elements, offering accessible yet wildly entertaining matches that even non-sports fans could enjoy.
What made NFL Blitz special was its ability to capture the intensity of football without the complexities of real-world rules. With only seven players per team and no penalties, it encouraged wild strategies and jaw-dropping plays. It had personality, humor, and a rebellious attitude that made it unforgettable. To this day, no football game has matched its blend of speed, style, and arcade insanity.
That’s why NFL Blitz deserves a home on GOG. GOG is known for preserving classic titles and making them compatible with modern systems, and NFL Blitz fits that mission perfectly. The original PC version is nearly impossible to run today without emulation or outdated hardware. A GOG release would not only restore access for longtime fans but also introduce new players to this gem of gaming history.
With modern controller support and optimized performance, NFL Blitz could shine once again—reminding us that sometimes, breaking the rules makes for the best kind of game. It’s not just a classic—it’s a legend.
