Hi,
Has anyone played this game. It's just come up local to me (In New Zealand its rare to find any games like this). I'm not sure if I'll like the game but I like the idea that the cabinet will be good for Blitz and Gauntlet. Comes with a spare game board and artwork as well.
 
It's in a generic cab anyway (I believe) but the price is cheap so I'll probably go for it.
Graphics look cool. Might have to fire it up in MAME and check it out. thanks for the info!!!
 
I played it some in my local arcade when I was a kid..lots of fun. I played it on mame recently and it was more challenging then I remembered
 
It uses optical joysticks (like Arch Rivals) so tossing in other Jamma boards isn't really an option unless you're willing to convert them over and not play Pigskin any more.

iirc there's a dipswitch to switch between optical and regular sticks. It's been a bit since i put my boardset away (I still have to make an adapter/harness for the separate video output (nope it's not part of the jamma harness on this board).

The dedicated cab is very cool (lights around the screen that light up when you do different things), 3d marquee!!! It's a semi rare game in it's dedicated form, i've seen 2 in person ever.

Tho you said it's in a generic cab, it's still a fun game, like arch rivals in gameplay as well (just football themed).
 
Pigskin is a great one. Especially good on freeplay, since you are essentially playing a whole 'football' game, adding quarters doesn't break this one.

It's made by the same guys who did Rampage, Xenophobe, Arch Rivals, etc -- lots of wacky humor and animations that will keep you laughing.
 
I think I'll grab it. It's missing the bezel but I've seen one on quarter arcade so I'll probably grab that too!!
