Super High Impact

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Super High Impact
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Midway/Arena
RELEASED:         1992
TYPE:             Sports (football)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Genesis port of the popular arcade game, itself based on
                  the teams, players, and exploits of American professional
                  football.  'Nuff said.  This was the de facto standard
                  in arcade football games until Midway's NFL Blitz series
                  was released.

IMPRESSIONS:      This and the later Tecmo Super Bowl games are unique in
                  offering a from-the-stands slant-view perspective.  Nice
                  graphics and good sound.  It's also the only G/MD
                  football sim I've seen with a "fighting mode" - once set,
                  your players will play rough, take cheap shots, and argue
                  with their opponents and the refs.  It's nice to have
                  something that emphasizes arcade-style gameplay over
                  techincal accuracy, while at the same time remaining
                  competetive with its rivals both in the graphics and
                  sound departments.
