I just recently found this game myself, I mean I knew it existed but never actually played it (or even wanted to) until a few months ago, and it indeed it a lot of fun once you get the hand of it.
I've actually been doing some "historical" gaming posts lately, covering noteworthy games released in certain years (just made two about 93 and 2000) and the concept adopted by the game was brought to life very well, similar sort of ideas were relatively popular in the NES days, but there's been nothing done in that direction until Rocket League came around
