The Nintendo 64 version received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[12] Hugh Norton-Smith of Hyper gave the same console version 91% and stated, "Unless you are a hardcore statistics fanatic, Blitz 2000 is a 5-star title worthy of anyone's cash. I wait for the next installment with bated breath and a case of Budweiser."[42] Steve Bauman of Computer Games Strategy Plus gave the PC version four stars out of five, saying, "It's just that sort of attitude that shows NFL Blitz 2000 is ultimately bad for you. It'll make you relish those late hits, laugh at those painful groin injuries and pulled hamstrings, and give your game pad the fiercest workout imaginable. But it's still, in the words of the in-game announcer, 'totally uncalled for, but awfully fun to watch.'"[43] Michael Lafferty of GameZone gave the same PC version 6.9 out of 10, calling it "a nice diversion from the games geared to the hard-core fans."[44] Tom Russo of NextGen said that the Dreamcast version was "As fast and fun as it ever was, but lacking the depth and one-player replayability of Sega's own NFL 2K."[37]

Christopher Michael Baker of AllGame gave the PlayStation version four stars out of five, saying, "Despite its lack of original content, NFL Blitz 2000 is still one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences -- sports-related or otherwise -- that you'll have on your PlayStation."[45] Anthony Baize gave the Nintendo 64 version three-and-a-half stars, saying that it was "a fun game to play, but there is not significant improvement over the original NFL Blitz. Basically, the only real reason to pick up this game is if you did not buy the original or if you simply must have the updated rosters for the 1999-2000 NFL season. It's fun to play, but it is not a legitimate upgrade."[46] Scott Alan Marriott gave the Dreamcast version three stars, saying, "It's brainless, it has devious computer AI, and it's lacking in depth, but there's just something about the fast-paced intensity that makes the game appealing in spite of its flaws. Factor in the ability to play with up to three of your friends, and you also have one of the best multi-player experiences available at the Dreamcast's launch. So yes, this is the definitive version of NFL Blitz fans have been waiting for, but anyone expecting a huge step up from the 'lesser' console versions will be sorely disappointed."[47] However, Brad Cook gave the PC version two stars, calling it "a faithful port of the Arcade version which is unfortunately nothing more than that, and it requires users to have a system which is well above and beyond the specs listed on the box."[48] He also gave the Game Boy Color version one-and-a-half stars, calling it "a game that really should have never been translated to this system in the first place. The very idea behind it can only work on comparatively higher-end machines such as PCs, Nintendo 64s, Dreamcasts and Arcade units. Anything with less power and you're left without what made the original so great in the first place."[49]

Scary Larry of GamePro said, "Blitz 2000 for the Dreamcast is a great upgrade of the original game, and a must have if the only system you plan on owning is a Dreamcast. But for real football fun, there's no competing with NFL 2K. Blitz 2000 doesn't want that competition - just a chance to hurt someone badly."[50][lower-alpha 7] Boba Fatt said that the Nintendo 64 version "still suffers from a lack of single-player replayability, but the multiplayer mayhem makes for a blitzin' good time."[51][lower-alpha 8] He also said of the PlayStation version, "For the single player, Blitz is still a short-lived thrill ride with little replay value–the A.I., though improved, still resorts to cheating consistently and the hardest difficulty level is full of fumble-itis. Blitz is meant to be a multiplayer experience, however, and in that area it's an all-pro."[51][lower-alpha 9] Scary Larry called the same Nintendo 64 version "just the kind of game for people that thought NBA Hangtime, Open Ice, and WWF Arcade were as real as they need in a sports game."[52][lower-alpha 10] He also called the same PlayStation version a "season ticket to fun."[53][lower-alpha 11]

Features

Edits and submissions to the site (including screenshots, box art, developer information, game summaries, and more) go through a verification process of fact-checking by volunteer "approvers".[2] This lengthy approval process after submission can range from minutes to days or months.[3] The most commonly used sources are the video game's website, packaging, and credit screens. There is a published standard for game information and copy-editing.[4] A ranking system allows users to earn points for contributing accurate information.[5]

Registered users can rate and review games. Users can create private or public "have" and "want" lists, which can generate a list of games available for trade with other registered users. The site contains an integrated forum. Each listed game can have its own sub-forum.

History

Logo used until March 2014

MobyGames was founded on March 1, 1999, by Jim Leonard and Brian Hirt, and joined by David Berk 18 months later, the three of which had been friends since high school.[6][7] Leonard had the idea of sharing information about computer games with a larger audience. The database began with information about games for IBM PC compatibles, relying on the founders' personal collections. Eventually, the site was opened up to allow general users to contribute information.[5] In a 2003 interview, Berk emphasized MobyGames' dedication to taking video games more seriously than broader society and to preserving games for their important cultural influence.[5]

In mid-2010, MobyGames was purchased by GameFly for an undisclosed amount.[8] This was announced to the community post factum , and the site's interface was given an unpopular redesign.[7] A few major contributors left, refusing to do volunteer work for a commercial website.{{Citation needed|date=June 2025} On December 18, 2013, MobyGames was acquired by Jeremiah Freyholtz, owner of Blue Flame Labs (a San Francisco-based game and web development company) and VGBoxArt (a site for fan-made video game box art).[9] Blue Flame Labs reverted MobyGames' interface to its pre-overhaul look and feel,[10] and for the next eight years, the site was run by Freyholtz and Independent Games Festival organizer Simon Carless.[7]

On November 24, 2021, Atari SA announced a potential deal with Blue Flame Labs to purchase MobyGames for $1.5 million.[11] The purchase was completed on 8 March 2022, with Freyholtz remaining as general manager.[12][13][14] Over the next year, the financial boost given by Atari led to a rework of the site being built from scratch with a new backend codebase, as well as updates improving the mobile and desktop user interface.[1] This was accomplished by investing in full-time development of the site instead of its previously part-time development.[15]

In 2024, MobyGames began offering a paid "Pro" membership option for the site to generate additional revenue.[16] Previously, the site had generated income exclusively through banner ads and (from March 2014 onward) a small number of patrons via the Patreon website.[17]
