/vr/ - Retro Games

When I was a kid I played this holy q-
quadr
....
QUADRINITY? of sports vidya games all for the Megadrive / gensisis

I'm English but Joe Montana football was really fun and the graphics were clear so you could tell what was going on and it made it simple for me to figure out what to do easily even as a kid who hadn't even seen a game of American Football. It was addictive to play and the game had a nice fast pace to it that watchin the actual game really needs, great stuff even if youre not into the game

Pete Sampras Tennis, again I had no idea what the rules were or who Mr Sampras was but picked up the scoring easily so if you never watch tennis you'll understand the system, like other good sports games its just fun and simple and easy to get into

Brian Lara Cricket, now this one was my 2nd favourite but my dad used to play cricket for his pub team and we'd watch it together on the t.v. so I was a bit biased with the game already but I would definitely say you'd find it fun even if you've never played or think cricket is stupid as shit (which it is even though I love it) its from the right era where the game rules couldn't be as stringent as real life so its, again, just simple and easy to pick up and play and the graphics are, again, really nice and clear and it makes it easy to understand whats happening so itd be good to play even if the only cricket you know is from Pinnochio

Fifa 95. Best fifa ever. fuck the people that liked 96 more and its silly indoor pitches, they probably don't know their arseholes from their elbows, this is a real mans (boys,kids whatever) game. AGAIN, very simple and easy to pick up, you don't really have to know the rules or anything because half of them aren't even present in the game. I spent so much time playing this as a kid my sister hid the cartridge under the sofa so she could watch more cartoons rather than me hogging the TV, that's probably all I need to say about this game.

PLAY THEM
