Mutant League Football > Madden.
Rayne | 2:05 AM on 08.26.2008 10 comments




Yes I said it!!!! I don't know who remebers mutant league football, but I do. What a great game. I owned it for Sega Genesis and though it lacked something that Madden had (mainly Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman) it made up for it in fun. Imagine a game that played just like madden but the players looked like all of your favorite baddies. I'm talking four eyed monsters, skeleton warriors, you name it though since the old genesis doesn't support HD eyes might be hard to count. Imagine football being deadly killer hits added with a field that is as deadly as the players on it. Not to mention you had referees who could easily be bribed (though I forgot the currency used)



I guess after reading so much about the new Madden release and how they are still releasing ports of old SNES versions I don't see how the concept of MLF got misplaced, and why it has never been revived. Such an splendid game virtually swept under the rug by Madden.

Also I don't remeber even playing madden until PS1 before that the long menus and complex interfaces had nothing on MLF or Tecmo Super Bowl for that matter.

I guess when you look at the lack of sucess games like NFL Street and Blitz have game developers aren't ready to step out of the box, but in we are seeing alot of old franchises come back why not this one. A game that gives you the delightful pleasure of literally destroying competetion and being a very bad sport, in a good way

BRING IT BACK!

Pretty much everyone. I hate football but I love that game.

Bring it back indeed.

Mutant League Football has one major flaw though: It's still American Football.

I'm a football fan but madden isn't breaking any ground and those other arcade games blow. They should revamp this bad boy

Eh, probably not, but I just like having the option to knife my opponent in a scuffle.

I liked how different stadiums were actually different. There were some in space, that if you go over to far you get sucked away to your death and the awesomeness that was the fire pits. Not to mention the ones where your characters could bounce, like the football game in the first Starship Troopers movie.

Mutant League Football needs a sequel. I'm not the only one that loved the game either.

See, if Madden allowed me to splatter fullbacks who'd made it all the way to the endzone as they did their touchdown dance I'd buy it.

Nothing more satisfying that sending an alien exoskeleton through an opponent's torso as he spikes the ball.

God, I love this game. I unfortunately never actually owned it...just borrowed it from a friend. Last year, while helping my in-laws prepare to move, my wife and I stumbled upon a box. Inside was a fully-functional Genesis with all of the hook-ups, 2 controllers, and a slew of games...including MLF. I nearly crapped myself.

Since we suspect my brother-in-law of selling her family's N64 and all of the games (he left the boxes, which is weird), we quickly smuggled the box out of the house.

Long story short...too late...I been playing MLF every month or so.
