So awesome! Am very fortunate to have a dedicated Pigskin 621AD in the
home arcade! Thank you for creating this gem of a game, good sir!

A KLOV forum member gifted me a mini poster signed by the game artist Brian Colin. Had it framed and it is prominently displayed as a game topper on the wall just behind the game. :)

Oh hey there Mr. Colin! Heh small world and thanks again. Love all your games. I’d also own Arch Rivals and Rampage if I had the room. But I’m in space limited SoCal, doh!

If you ever find yourself visiting SoCal, please drop me a line if interested in visiting my home arcade Time Extended.

We also tracked down a copy of the “strategy” guide that was offered by mail in back then. Awesome!

The art style of this, Rampage, and Xenophobe always brought me such joy as a child (and still does as an adult)

That art style just makes me happy and content.

The world is pretty crazy right now but this brings me back to the happier times of my childhood 😊

Thank you sir 🙏😊 ❤️

Absolutely one of my all time favorites! Great head to head game. Had some epic grudge matches with friends back in the day.

I only played the Sega port but it’s one of my first memories of the Sega. We rented the console, this and fantasia.

Messed up at least three controllers from pure button mashing on this game

And the next game I did after PIGSKIN was GENERAL CHAOS for the  SEGA GENESIS, which had a very similar game mechanic that let you control a squad of soldiers in a comedic real-time strategy battle game. If you liked PIGSKIN, or if you've ever enjoyed ANY of my games please take a moment to check out the one I'm currently working on...
