College Football USA 96 (Sega Genesis, 1995)

"Down! . . . Set! . . . Hut!"

Your favorite college football team has just snapped the ball. They've called a Hail Mary and the receivers are going deep. The clock is winding down in this, the last play of the game. What's going to happen next? It's all in your hands... 

In EA SPORTS' College Football USA 96, take the field as one of 108 Division IA schools vying for that elusive national championship. Forty-five players make up each team roster, and you can play an entire 11-game season (shorter if you wish) before advancing to one of four officially licensed Bowl games: Fiesta, Orange, Sugar or Rose. 

Better yet, play as some of your favorite players from the 1996 football season, based on 1995 stats. Run for 200 yards as Eddie George of Ohio State or throw six TD passes as Peyton Manning of Tennessee. For legal reasons, players are represented only by number and equivalent ability rather than name. 

College Football USA 96 lets you enter your own name and set your own cartridge records. There are 400 plays from which to choose, and a new passing mode lets you select from five receivers on every play. Other features and options include the following: four-player mode, three different game lengths, substitutions, injuries, audibles, fake snaps, spins, hurdles, dives, blocked kicks, interceptions and laterals. 

The receivers are still going deep. And it's still up to you...
