About NFL 98

NFL 98 is a football simulation for the Sega Genesis, built upon the foundation of an earlier release called Prime Time NFL Football. It includes a full license from the National Football League, featuring every team and their player rosters as they were constituted for the 1997 season.

The game provides several ways to play, from single exhibition matches to a full season mode. Players can also engage with team management functions. A detailed manual is integrated into the software to explain the game's various systems and rules.

This title represents one of the final NFL-licensed games released for the Genesis platform, marking a late point in the console's lifecycle.
