Tearing up arcades before making its way to the Super Nintendo in 1993, Super High Impact is a brutal, fast-paced American football game that strips away penalties and focuses on pure action. As the sequel to High Impact Football, it laid the groundwork for the legendary NFL Blitz series by introducing over-the-top tackles, late hits, and the iconic “Hit-O-Meter.” Instead of managing realistic playbooks or worrying about clock management, players focus on delivering punishing hits, pulling off wild trick plays, and dominating the gridiron through sheer force.
How to Play
The goal is to outscore your opponent in an aggressive game of football where massive hits are the norm. In the browser, movement is mapped to the arrow keys. Use X (SNES B button) to pass or switch defenders, Z (SNES A button) to dive or pitch the ball, and S (SNES X button) to perform spin moves. Hold W (SNES R button) for a speed boost, and press Enter to start the game or choose plays.
Tips
- The Suicide Blitz: On defense, calling the “Suicide” formation is highly effective. Take control of a nose guard, hold your turbo button right at the snap, and rush straight at the quarterback. The offensive line frequently fails to block this, guaranteeing easy sacks.
- Win the Fights: Occasional brawls will break out after particularly aggressive plays. While there isn’t much tactical depth to the fighting, rapidly mashing the action buttons will help you win the scuffle and gain possession of the ball.
- Abuse the Spin Move: When carrying the ball, use the spin move button frequently as you approach defenders. It is incredibly effective at breaking tackles and dodging computer-controlled opponents.
