Bo Jackson: Two Games in One is a sports compilation featuring both baseball and football modes with the legendary two-sport athlete. Baseball lets players choose innings, select from seven teams, and use pitch types including fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Players can swing, bunt, steal bases, and make diving catches. Football offers play-calling with formations, a coin toss, timeouts, penalties, and a create-a-play feature for custom strategies. Both modes feature Bo Jackson appearing on screen to offer advice. The game supports competitive multiplayer via the Game Link Cable for either sport.

Released in June 1991, this title was developed by Equilibrium and published by THQ, capitalizing on Bo Jackson's popularity as a two-sport superstar. The baseball mode received praise for its detailed pitcher-batter interface and varied pitch selection, though fielding controls were criticized for confusion in selecting players. The football mode was widely panned for simplistic, blocky graphics with indistinguishable players and a limited field view showing only 15-20 yards at a time. The soundtrack featured catchy startup music but repetitive in-game tracks. While the create-a-play option was ahead of its time, critics noted clunky controls and lack of depth compared to dedicated sports titles. Despite mixed reception, the game remains a nostalgic curiosity for fans of classic sports gaming and Bo Jackson's legacy.
