This phrase describes a specific item sought by collectors and enthusiasts: a pre-owned arcade cabinet of Midway’s 1999 football game, NFL Blitz 99. These cabinets offer a distinct arcade experience, featuring over-the-top gameplay, digitized NFL teams and players from that season, and four-player simultaneous action.
The enduring popularity of this particular iteration stems from its balance of classic Blitz gameplay and roster authenticity. It represents a snapshot of the NFL in 1999, offering a nostalgic gaming experience for fans. The rarity of functioning cabinets in good condition contributes to their value and desirability in the retro gaming market. Finding one “for sale” presents an opportunity to own a piece of arcade and NFL history.
