Chances are, if you frequent Operation Sports, this week's Throwback Thursday needs no introduction whatsoever. For those who did not grow up with this violent magnum opus, Midway, the creators of many of the greatest arcade games ever, sought to carry the immense success of NBA Jam to other sports. And boy, did it ever.

Ah the nostalgia! Remember playing this freshman year in college.
Then I played madden and it felt like the most boring thing ever.
Let's have a new Blitz!

Still remember guys in my dorm hall stole my log in password (by peaking over my shoulder) and made me lose on purpose because I had won something like 60 games in a row. Was a great game to play with a bunch of people and some natty light. Great Dayzzz

Man these throwback thursdays are going to have me throwing money towards retro consoles and games.

Blitz is without a doubt one of the best multiplayer games ever whether playing 2 player or 4 player. Even a 3 player, 2 against 1, could be fun. It was a game where leads weren't always guaranteed, especially if you got the onside kick down (though it could also help you pad a lead). The games were always fun and chaotic yet there was strategy involved. I might be in the minority but I even loved the more recent Blitz remake. It has some missing elements from the originals but at the end of the day it still featured that fun chaotic gameplay that made the original games so great.

Bloody amazing game

Ahh good times. I remember this was the game everyone wanted to play at the arcade (along with Cruisin USA!) and it was the greatest thing when we could then play it in the living room!

Better than the new Blitz. The late hits is what really made blitz great.
