Unnecessary Roughness '95 is a 1994 American football video game for the MS-DOS personal computer and for the Sega Genesis.
Players can do exhibition games either against the AI-controlled opponent or against another human player.[3]
Regular seasons, playoffs, and even Super Bowls can be played in this video game.[3] One of the primary features in the game is the Construction Set; where entire teams, stadiums, and tournaments can be made from scratch.[3] They can be traded with friends through the use of floppy disks (as in the case with the MS-DOS version).[3] Real logos, teams and all 1400 players from the 1993 NFL season are used.[4][5][6] These athletes have individual ratings in offense, defense, and athletic ability.[5] A "Two Minute" drill forces a scenario where the player has to beat the computer with only two minutes left in the fourth quarter.[5]
Legendary football announcer Al Michaels calls the plays on the MS-DOS version.[3][5] S battery save function allows the saving of seasons and statistics without the use of cumbersone passwords.[5] The Video Game Critic gave the Sega Genesis version of the game a D- rating in his August 14, 2005 review of the game.[3][6]
