It was a pretty shitty game, but when I was a kid, I loved RBI Baseball on NES. I played it everyday. I was a grandmaster++ at it and didn't lose for 2 years, against the Nintendo simulator nor a live opponent.
It was also one of my favorites. I thought about listing it, but only thought about it afterwards and figured listing one baseball game was enough.
The early hockey and golf games were also a blast. I won (and lost) quite a bit of money playing those games against my friends and siblings. One time playing the golf game with my ex-gf against a friend of mine and his lady friend, my ex screwed up a chip-in and we wound up having to go and extra hole. We lost when she choked on an easy put once again and we nearly split up that night. Man, was i infuriated! We both decided that playing as a team in those games was definitely not a good idea! I was also down $50!!!!! :lol:
I still remember that EA Sports NHL game for the Sega Genesis. I always took the Calgary Flames for one reason: Bryan McLellan. He was a journeyman player, but he had a devastating slapshot in that game! He'd consistently score from the red line! He barely had 10 goals all season in real life, but in that game, he was magical for me and my mates at one point refused to play me unless i changed teams! lol
One sports game that i first started to enjoy was the football game "Fourth and Inches" for the Commodore 64. I remember they had players named Hugo Long, Chris Cross, Mack Truck, etc. I'm surprised i still remember those names! lol
Or that other basketball game for the Commodore 64 called 'Lakers vs. Celtics'. I never wanted to take the Celtics. I preferred the Lakers with the likes of Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Nixon, etc.
Airborne Ranger and
Into the Eagle's Nest were also games i enjoyed playing on the Commodore 64.
