Throwback Thursday: You can control Joe Montana with Game Gear

Forget Montana on the Sega Genesis, it's all about Game Gear

With a bye week, it means we can have a bit more fun with Throwback Thursday. That is, of course, my reasoning when I found this.

Back in the early 90s, Joe Montana was a mascot for Sega, the only company with any sort of chance of beating Nintendo. Nintendo had Mario and Link, Sega had a hedgehog and a football player. Why do I lump Montana into Sega's mascots? Because Joe Montana's Sports Talk Football (article coming soon...I promise, stop emailing me) was something that sold systems.
