NFL Sports Talk Football '93 is an American football video game featuring Joe Montana, released in 1992. It is the third in the series, and the first to be licensed by the National Football League.
Overview
- Being officially licensed by both the NFL and NFLPA allows this game to use all the real NFL team names, and the trademarked phrase "Super Bowl", where previously teams only represented cities, and played for the 'Sega Bowl'; all of the league's (then) 28 teams, in addition to all of the league's players and their attributes from the 1992 season are featured.
- Joe Montana is the only player whose name is spoken; the following year's NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana game also featured Troy Aikman, perhaps due to his leading the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl success in 1993 (and 1994).
- Players may choose to play an exhibition game, or compete in the league (16 games, then the playoffs and Super Bowl).
