NFL Blitz on the N64

Talking to Swifty today reminded me of a funny story from a while back. Back in 1998, StarCraft was a brand new game, having just seen release in April of that year, and NFL Blitz was the hot new game on the N64. One feature of Blitz 64 was the ability to make your own plays.

I went over to Swifty's house to play a game of Blitz, and he loaded up his custom playbook. I laughed heartilly as I noticed that all of his plays were named after StarCraft strategies! He had a Shotgun Bomb called "Reaver Drop". He had a strong sweep known as "Zealot Rush", and probably several others I can't think of.

Those were the days.
