College Football's National Championship is a 1994 American football video game that was released exclusively for the North American Sega Genesis video game system. A sequel, College Football's National Championship II , was released in 1995. [4]

Summary

The game is based on the 1993 NCAA Division I-A football season. [5]

Considered to be a clone of NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana with college teams, the game used exactly the same engine as the original program. Exhibition games, a tournament with 4, 8, 16 or 32 teams, a division challenge where you can play against other teams in your region before you play nationally and a "race for #1" where you play a regular season schedule which you can customize. [6] Four players can play simultaneously with the help of the Team Player adaptor. Tournaments can be completely customized with either a customized schedule length and even a customized selection of opponents. [3] Even the Wishbone and Option formations that were used in college football at that time were included. [5] [7]

Lon Simmons does the voice commentary in the game; he did the voice for all the Sports Talk Baseball series of video games for the Sega Genesis. There is a battery save that saves team records that are important for each college. [3]
