Bill Walsh College Football is a Super NES, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and Sega [Mega-]CD American football game which was one of the first ones to deal with the sport at a college level. Except for Super Play Action Football, no game has ever dealt with football at a more simple level than college since that time. The plays are simpler, the rules are more complex, and football players are slightly smaller than their professional counterparts. During every good play, the audience cheers the player on. During a bad play, the same digital audience gives the player catcalls.
The game featured 25 college teams from the 1992 season and 25 historical teams. Clearly, Alabama was the best of the 1992 teams, having won the national championship that year. Pitt '80, Florida '84, Brigham Young University Provo' 84, Texas '81, and South Bend '88 were prominent historical teams featured in the game.
