Sega's NFL-licensed Montana football game, and one of the cheapest US carts.

NFL Sports Talk Football '93 Starring Joe Montana was developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega. It reached North America in 1992 and Europe on 19 November 1992, and it was the first game in the Joe Montana series to carry an NFL license. Electronic Games previewed it as a 12-meg cart on which one or two coaches could direct all 28 NFL teams with real players, or team up against a robot.

What the press said at the time

“Joe Montana III is a noteworthy improvement upon its predecessor. The high quality graphics, extremely responsive game play, the Sports Talk feature, the vast options, and authentic NFL statistics make this one of the premiere football carts for the Genesis or any other system.”
— GamePro, December 1992

“Unlike previous Montana games, this one gives you all 28 NFL teams.”
— GamePro, May 1993

“Good fun, smart graphics and the speech is just gob-smacking! … Unfortunately still not as good a Gridiron simulation as John Madden '92”
— MegaTech, June 1993

“Not as user friendly as the mighty Madden counterpart. A few nice touches which include a league and a change in viewpoint of the game.”
— Mega Action, June 1993

Before you buy

Among US carts it is one of the cheapest. The European loose cart usually costs a little less than the US one, while a complete European copy usually costs more. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
