Some of the gaming veterans out there might be old enough to remember there was an entertaining football game produced by EA back in the early 90s. Instead of playing with your favorite players and teams, fictional monsters roamed the land-mine-filled stadiums, scattered throughout the galaxy. The game was Mutant League Football, and it was one of my favorite games as a child.

In this week’s Throwback Thursday, I look back at this memorable game, and look at how it might have stacked up against today’s sports video games.

Loved this game! They even had a Sunday morning cartoon.

I LOOOVVEEEDD this game. The first sports game I ever played and the game that built the bridge from my nerdy swords and sorcery pursuits to an interest in sports. It's probably the reason I even started playing sports to begin with, which i did all the way through college. Thanks for the nostalgia fest!

Fantastic game always wished they'd make a modern take on it. That would be something. They also made that Mutant League Hockey which was equally as awesome. Who wouldn't like electrified nets, sharks under the ice LOL. Great article on a great game that deserves a modern take, and it's getting on apparently.

High dev budgets to create games now have pushed titles like this out of the market place. I'd love to see more titles like this come back. Whatever happened to the company that was attempting to make a new knock off version?

How funny. After not thinking about this game for years it randomly came up in conversation between my sister and I while watching the conference championship games this weekend. What do I see a few days later? An article about that very game. Midway Monsters for life!
