Play Rugby World Cup 1995 (USA, Europe) (En,Fr,It) Online

Game Overview

If you've ever wanted to experience the chaos of 90s rugby without the mud stains, Rugby World Cup 1995 on Genesis is your ticket. The pixelated players move with that weirdly satisfying jankiness only 16-bit sports games had—like they're permanently mid-stumble but somehow still pulling off insane drop kicks. I spent my first match just laughing at how the scrums turn into these frantic button-mashing contests where someone eventually pops out like a cork from a bottle.

What surprised me was how it actually feels like rugby—none of that sterile simulation stuff. Passes go wild if you’re under pressure, tackles get messy, and the AI isn’t afraid to absolutely flatten you if you hesitate near the try line. The crowd sprites are basically just colored blobs waving, but when you score? That little victory jingle hits like nostalgia caffeine.

Best played with a friend who doesn’t mind getting elbowed IRL during heated matches. Just don’t blame me when you start yelling "Go wide!" at your TV like a madman.
