Pigskin 621 A.D.

A version for the Sega Genesis, retitled Pigskin Footbrawl and endorsed by coach Jerry Glanville, was released by Razor Soft on December 18, 1992.

The field is also laden with weapons: axes, maces, nooses, scythes, spears, swords and torches.

If one team gets too far behind in score in the second half of the game, a computer-controlled troll is added to the losing side to help even the odds, and behaves more aggressively than regular players.

A touchdown is worth six points, with a one-point bonus for keeping possession of the ball for longer than a minimum time.

(Approximately 10 seconds) It is possible to gain very high scores by eliminating most of the opposing team and then maintaining possession of the ball for as long as possible.

At one time, the makers of Pigskin 621 A.D. offered tickets to the Super Bowl as part of a sweepstakes promotion associated with the arcade game.

The game also advertised a free players handbook available by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to a specified post-office box.

Players control one of the team members, navigating the hazards on the field and dispatching opponents using weapons. The current team strategy is displayed near the top of the screen, along with the score.
