Name: Super High Impact
Author/Vendor: Midway/Arena
Released: 1992
Type: Sports (football)
Language: English
Premise: Genesis port of the popular arcade game, itself based on the teams, players, and exploits of American professional football. 'Nuff said. This was the de facto standard in arcade football games until Midway's NFL Blitz series was released.
Impressions: Unique among G/MD football sims in that it employs a side-view, 3D slant perspective - only EA's pseudo-3D endzone slant perspective comes close. Nice graphics, and good sound. It's also the only G/MD football sim I've seen with a "fighting mode" - once set, your players will play rough, take cheap shots, and dicker with their opponents and the refs. Nice to have something that emphasizes arcade-style gameplay over techincal accuracy, while at the same time remaining competetive with its rivals both in the graphics and sound departments.
