NFL Sports Talk Football '93 is an American football video game featuring Joe Montana, released in 1992. It is the third in the series, and the first to be licensed by the National Football League.
Overview
- Being officially-licensed allows this game to use all the real NFL team names, and the phrase "Super Bowl", where previously teams only represented cities, and played for the 'Sega Bowl'.
- Joe Montana is the only player whose name is spoken; the following year's NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana game also featured Troy Aikman, perhaps due to his leading the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl success in 1993 (and 1994).
- Players may choose to play an exhibition game, or compete in the league (16 games, then the playoffs and Super Bowl).
Features
- Running commentary using 'Sports Talk 2.0' technology, which was highly regarded at the time, having around 500 different phrases
- A 'playbook' containing 50 possible plays.
- Four possible views of the field:
- Camera zooms in when a player crosses the line of scrimmage, or the ball is thrown by the quarterback
- Choice of:
- 20-, 40- or 60-minute-long (full-length) games. Either way, they are divided into four quarters
- Fair, rainy or snowy weather
- Natural turf, artificial turf or domed stadium
- League play could be saved, and continued later by entering a ten-character code.
