Joe Montana Football is a 1990 American football video game published by Sega. While the game does feature Joe Montana as a playable character, Sega did not obtain licenses from either the National Football League or the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), meaning no other players, nor any official team names, are used. It was the first of many Sega-published football games of the 1990s prior to moving into the NFL 2K branding in the 2000s.
