The part in the video where that one character is just droning on some unending dialogue while another NPC is groaning “uuughh..I cant bear it.. make it stop!” had me laughing so hard.

That’s pretty cool! Even as someone who is fascinated by cancelled games (and loves arcade sports games), this is my first exposure to this! And definitely a product of the time as the UI and presentation is basically a straight rip of the ESPN2 television elements at the time (bright “painted” look, lots of lowercase…
