Also released on: Super Nintendo Entertainment System · Sega Mega Drive/Genesis · Super Famicom · Sega Game Gear · Game Boy. We haven’t priced or authenticated those versions yet.
Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Sega Genesis version
An Acclaim football game with a quarterback-skills mode that is among the cheapest US carts, though the European cart costs much more.
This is the Genesis version of NFL Quarterback Club, developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Acclaim. The 1994 game added full team games under NFL rules while keeping the Quarterback Challenge skills mode. It came out in North America in 1994 and in Europe on 24 February 1995.
Next Generation, reviewing the Genesis version, felt that its emphasis on extra modes over the quality of the main gameplay kept it from competing with the bigger sports games. Game Players found the Genesis version a little behind the Super NES in graphics and sound.
What the press said at the time
| Game Players Issue 6/95 | June 1995 | GEN 81% |
| Electronic Gaming Monthly | 15/20 | |
| Famitsu | 26/40 | |
| Next Generation | 3/5 |
“speed on both could be increased, but overall QB Club is my second favorite Football (just behind Madden).”
“Quarterback Club is actually very enjoyable. All the instinctive playability of the Madden games is here and the computer teams actually behave very intelligently.”
“While there’s not a whole lot of football strategy involved here, the extra stages that represent the annual quarterback competi¬ tion are fun. The controls handle well and you’re gonna want to play this over and over again.”
“While there's not a whole lot of football strategy involved here, the extra stages that represent the annual quarterback competition are fun.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
How the Sega Genesis version differs
Game Players found the only differences between the Super NES and Genesis versions in graphics and sound, where the Genesis lags a bit behind.

Before you buy
Among US carts it is one of the cheapest. In this case the European cart usually costs far more than the US one, both loose and complete, so buy the US cart unless you need the European one. Sega Retro lists the game as supporting Sega's Team Player.

The Sega 32X version
A smooth-looking football game that dropped the series' skills contest, and one of the cheapest US 32X cartridges.
This is the 32X version of Acclaim's NFL Quarterback Club, developed by Iguana Entertainment. It leaves out the Quarterback Challenge mode found in the 16-bit cartridges. GamePro's preview described a 32-meg cartridge with a view showing 80 yards of field at a time, three camera perspectives and an advanced instant replay.
Game Players said that missing mode was the only area where the 32X game trailed the other versions, praising its very smooth animation and responsive controls. It still felt the game did not measure up to the top-ranked Super NES Madden NFL '95.
How it was made
Iguana Entertainment developed the game and Acclaim Entertainment published it.
What the press said at the time
| Famitsu | 29/40 |
“The wait is over with NFL Quarterback Club, a flat-out blockbuster for the Genesis 32X from Acclaim.”
“So, there you have it. The already proven gameplay of the Megadrive version with all-new enhanced 32-bit graphics and sound. The only real downside, is that the Quarterback Challenge (a sort of multi-player training game, as regular readers will recall) has, for some inexplicable reason, been removed.”
“even without it, this is still the better game. If you have a 32X and no Madden-style game to speak of, this should be a definite consideration.”
“Here's your chance to do an Al Davis impersonation and make the NFL do whatever you want. If you already own the Genesis game, however, you don't need this 32X game.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the 32X version.

Before you buy
Acclaim packed its 32X games in sturdier plastic cases, so a complete copy should have one. Among US 32X games the loose price is at the bottom. The European cartridge usually costs several times as much, and much more when complete. Japan got it too.
