Play College Football USA 96 Online

College Football USA 96 came out for the Sega Genesis in 1995, developed by EA Sports. It was one of the last major football titles on the system, arriving just as newer consoles were taking over. The game featured real teams and players from the 1995 college season, offering a straightforward, no frills football experience without the deeper management sim elements some later games would include.

You control all eleven players on the field, calling offensive and defensive plays from a detailed playbook. The main goal is to outscore your opponent, either in a single game or across a full season. Signature mechanics include the passing window, which pops up to let you select a receiver after the snap, and the ability to dive for extra yards or make open field tackles. The pacing is quick, with games that feel authentic to the college style; difficulty varies based on team selection and opponent. It feels responsive and direct, a solid representation of mid-90s football.
