Released in 1995 for the Sega Genesis, Australian Rugby League is a sports simulation developed by I-Space Interactive and published by EA Sports. Based on the same engine as Rugby World Cup ’95 but adapted specifically for rugby league rules, the game features authentic club teams from the ARL, State of Origin matchups, and international squads. You can compete in quick exhibition matches or tackle a full season while managing changing weather and pitch conditions.
How to Play
Lead your squad down the pitch to score tries, kick goals, and defend against the opposition in fast-paced rugby league action. Steer your players using the D-pad (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys). You can pass, tackle, and perform various kicks using the A, B, and C buttons (mapped to the A, S, and D keys in your browser), while Start (Enter) pauses the match. Mastering the timing for grubber and bomb kicks is essential for breaking through defensive lines.
Tips
- Weather conditions heavily affect handling and movement; on wet or muddy pitches, rely on short passes and tactical kicking rather than risky long running plays.
- Use high bomb kicks to pressure the opposing team’s defense, forcing handling errors that can create quick scoring opportunities near the try line.
