To promote the NFL 2019-20 season schedule, the Carolina Panthers released a digital/social video showcasing its season match-ups in the form of an homage to video games of old (and a few newer ones too).
While NFL teams don’t know their exact schedules until shortly before the dates are revealed, they do know which teams they’ll be up against, which probably helped the Panthers’ digital team put together a concept this ambitious and then switch the order of video games around to suit the final schedule once it was released.

A charming clip that we feel will engage nostalgic gamers of any age.
Once you’ve wiped away the nostalgia, we challenge you to name all 17?
The answers are as follows:
• California Games (1987)
• Pitfall (1982)
• Cruis’n USA (1994)
• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (1999)
• Madden NFL ’95 (1994)
• FIFA 2012 (2011)
• Halo (2001)
• The Oregon Trail (circa 1978)
• NBA Jam (1993)
• WWF No Mercy (2000)
• Pokemon Go (2016)
• GoldenEye 007 (1997)
• Super Mario Kart (1992)
• Pac-Man (1980)
• Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)
• Words With Friends (2009)
• Mortal Kombat II (1993)
We’re usually happy to forgive trademark issues ourselves, but we can’t help but wonder, especially as the NFL is pretty fierce about protecting its own IP, whether the team actually secured rights to feature every one of those games.,
