About Super High Impact

Super High Impact is a football video game originally developed for arcades and later adapted for home consoles. It features a roster of eighteen teams, each with access to more than thirty distinct plays.

A notable mechanic is the Hit-O-Meter, which frequently escalates on-field action into large-scale fights. The game's tone is characterized by its over-the-top physicality, emphasized by phrases such as "EAT THIS!!!" and "FIGHT!!!".

It is considered a significant title in the arcade-style football genre, establishing a style of play that would later be seen in series like NFL Blitz.
