Emmitt Smith Football is an American football video game for the Super NES for an exclusively North American market.[3]

Summary

Sample gameplay of Emmitt Smith Football.

Its namesake is former all-pro running back Emmitt Smith of the 1994 Dallas Cowboys.[1] Like Troy Aikman NFL Football, the player can make up to 64 of their own plays (saved through a battery backup).[1] Most of the text in this game uses a classic video game typeface. There is no official use of any licenses other than the Emmitt Smith name; making the teams and players fictional.[1]

Possible modes of play include: exhibition mode and season mode based on the 1994 NFL season.[1] Smith added his voice on the game; giving positive comments on big gains and negative comments on negative plays. Most of the standard rules of the National Football League at the time of release are used (four quarters of 15 minutes, 100 yard field, etc.). However, the options allow the player to change some of the rules used in the actual game.[3] This game was mentioned in the November 1995 issue of Nintendo Power.[4]

GamePro gave this video game a 70% rating in their October 1995 issue while Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 57.5% rating in their January 1996 issue.[1] VideoGames & Computer Entertainment recorded a 40% rating in its October 1995 issue.[1]
