Mutant League Football has been on my personal backlog for years, and with the new NFL season kicking off this week I figured there was no better time to finally see what all you Sega Genesis kids were bragging about. And yep, I get it now. MLF is awesome.
The football itself is fine. Personally I prefer Tecmo Bowl for my retro football fix, but this is adequate. Where Mutant League Football shines is, well, the mutants. Decapitating opponents, bribing (or murdering) refs, and pushing your opponents into outer space are just some the things that set this game apart from other classic football titles. Add in a great playoff mode, the ability to win games by killing too many of the other team's players, and some pretty solid gross out humour, and you have a game that's playable in 2025 as it was in 1993.
My guest this week is the official referee of RTG, Mike The Ref. We had a great time taking some shots at NFL fans while laughing it up over all the insanity that is Mutant League Football. I get why all you Sega kids are so proud of these games now, and I can PROMISE you Mutant League Hockey is getting some airtime at RTG Industries sooner than later.
And before we slaughter some ref, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week we compare the PS3/Xbox 360 wars to the SNES/Genesis battles of the 90's. Is there any chance we get as second Mario Kart game this generation?? And why am I a Broncos fan??
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 spinoff sports games: BaseWars, Mega Man Soccer, and Arch Rivals.
