Super High Impact is an arcade-style football game released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. As the sequel to High Impact Football, it serves as an early predecessor to games like NFL Blitz, focusing on exaggerated, hard-hitting action rather than strict simulation. The game features fictional teams, digitized sprites, and over-the-top tackles with comic-style animations. It strips away complex penalties and plays, delivering a fast-paced, bruising sports experience.
How to play
Choose your team and navigate the simplified playbook to call runs, passes, or kicks. On offense, the directional pad steers your player while the action buttons are used to pass or evade. On defense, use the D-pad to move and press the action buttons to perform massive tackles. For the Sega Genesis, controls use the D-pad plus A, B, and C buttons along with Start (typically mapped to the arrow keys plus Z, X, C, and Enter in the browser).
Tips
- The game heavily rewards an aggressive playstyle. Always go for the big hit on defense to try and force a fumble.
- When selecting offensive plays, utilize quick passes if the defense crowds the line, as the offensive line won’t hold blocks for very long.
