Play NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Edition (ver 1.2, Sep 22 1999) Online

NFL Blitz 2000 Gold is the kind of arcade football game where subtlety goes to die—and honestly, that’s why it’s so much fun. Within seconds of booting it up, you’re throwing 50-yard bombs, laying out receivers with late hits (no flags here), and watching players flip through the air like ragdolls. The animations are ridiculous in the best way—think WWE meets football.

It’s not exactly a simulation, but that’s the point. The plays are simple to pick up, but good luck stopping someone once they figure out how to cheese the same unstoppable pass every time. The Gold Edition tweaks some of the original’s rough edges, though don’t expect balance—just chaos. Perfect for quick matches when you want to smash buttons and laugh at the absurdity.

If you’ve got nostalgia for late-’90s arcades or just want to see a linebacker suplex a quarterback, this one’s still a blast.
