“These issues” are the violent collisions, some of them gratuitous, after the play, and, of course, unpenalized, that both defined Midway’s NFL Blitz and have aged very poorly in the 25 years since. “They said, ‘Guys, if you want to do this, you’ve got to address these issues,’” Sufer said. But if they were going to re-release three of sports video gaming’s most memorable arcade adaptations in a new package, they had to be cleaned up for modern sensibilities. “The NFL was warm to the idea, because was loved by fans,” Davin Sufer, Arcade1Up’s chief technology officer, told Polygon.
