Pigskin 621 A.D.
Posted: November 7th, 2011, 5:02 pm
One thing that The Mad Blogger always wanted to do when he was a kid was to have his own room dedicated to arcade games. And so, when he grew up, and got married, he did have the room for this dream to become a reality.
Some of you are probably saying, "He's MARRIED? WHO WOULD MARRY HIM?"
It is true. And so, he has some of the classic games, such as Asteroids, Frogger, and Dragon's Lair. And yes, we have Ms. PacMan and Galaga (for the wife), though The Mad Blogger cannot get into these games.
However, recently, The Mad Blogger purchased Pigskin 621 A.D. (also known as Footbrawl). This game plays 1-4 players. In this game, you are the captain of a team of barbarians, trying to make as many 'touchdowns' as possible. Not only can you pass or lateral the ball to your teammates, but you can pick up concealed weapons too (then when a defender tries to tackle you, he comes out of the ball of dust with a mace in his face!). You can play against the computer, or head to head with up to three other players, but if you really start wiping the floor with your opponent, they start replacing his/her teammates with all-powerful Trolls!
If you have not played this game, The Mad Blogger recommends you do so. The animation is fluid, but not violent. It will make you (and others) play for hours on end. And so, as Thanksgiving approaches us, we long to have people play this game until we hear the famous phrase booming from the system...
SEND IN THE TROLLS!!!
