I like hockey and golf, but my favorite sport IRL is swimming. Too bad there aren't any good swimming games.

>>5419091
Yeah I play sports games

FUTBOL BRAHILEIRO NOVENTISIEIS

>no mention of NFL Blitz
Why is it Midway and Tecmo got sport games so right

>>5419321
They didnt age as well as ea's Street games

>>5419365
I disagree

Baseball Stars
Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball
Tecmo Bowl
Arch Rivals
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

My experience in the genre is pretty limited, and some of these I'm going by off memory. I only really play arcade-style games.

>>5419091
There's such a large variety of great sports games I enjoy. I can go on and on with sports games I enjoy like:

Tecmo Super Bowl, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, Punch Out!!, Klonoa Beach Volleyball, NBA Jam, Virtual Pro Wrestling 2, Mario Tennis 64, F-Zero, Super Dodgeball, Neo Turf Masters, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Windjammers, ESPN/ESPN2 eXtreme Games, Sega Rally Championship, Blades of Steel, Waverace, Basewars, etc.

NFL Blitz

rip

surprised it took us this long to say tony hawks
even the gba games were fun

I was a sports fanatic growing up, I got the new releases pretty much every year, these were my favorites of the retro era:

World Series Baseball 98 (GOAT)
Mutant League Football (Genesis)
NBA Live 95 (SNES)
World Series Baseball (Saturn)
Madden 94 (SNES)
NHL 94 (SNES / Genesis - they say Genesis version is better, I actually like the palette and sound of the SNES version more, but they're pretty much the same game)
NHL All Star Hockey (Saturn - super underrated, got poor reviews, I had this at the same time as NHL 97 and found myself playing this way more often, best presentation ever in a sports game too)
Not retro but Madden 2000 (Madden 99's graphics blew me away for the first few times but then it wore off, 2000 was so crisp and clean it still looks good today, and the franchise mode was amazing in this, this was wonderful for an otherwise shallow football game tactically, which Madden usually was)
Most of the early NBA Jam games
Does Punch Out count?

I was blown away by NHL 97's graphics the first few times I played it, but after a while it was a shallow game. NHL 98 amazed me when I played it on PC because you could scan your picture in and all that stuff, which was the greatest thing at the time for a teenager and his friends, but I didn't play this one enough to be able to evaluate if it belongs on the list. There are 2 or 3 non retro games that would make my all time list, but for the most part the best sports games fall into the retro era.

>the best sports games fall into the retro era

yep. i miss when you could just pick up a sports game and play and have fun even if your not a fan or never played it.

>>5419167
This list is shockingly similar to what mine would be, including with Ice Hockey NES at the top of it. Volleyball NES is on mine, too, as well as both NES Track and Fields and Tecmo Bowl.

>'No results'
The fuck? Sensible Soccer is the shiznizzle, mah nizzles. Y'all need to get yo' shit straight.

I really loved playing arcade sports games growing up since I can't get into playing the simulated sport games. Games like NFL gameday or blitz, SNK sports games, Sammy Sosa's softball slam, etc. Fun times.

>>5419091
>What are your favorites?
Winning Eleven 2002 (PS1)

>>5419091

NBA Jam
NFL Blitz
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Tecmo Super Bowl
Golden Tee
Super Tennis

In addition to the ones already mentioned.

>>5419091

One of the best of all time.

>>5426567
>>5426562
Those are pretty big tits

Excitebike
Waverace 64
Teleroboxer

>>5421575
>Klonoa Beach Volleyball
Wat, that happened? I guess after Mega Man Soccer anything was game.

>>5421763
I enjoyed a lot of the games for the series. Tony Hawk games are like Tecmo Super Bowl, where I start playing and before you know it a whole night passed, and you didn't sleep because you were so engauged in the game.


>>5428013
Yep, unfortunately it only released in Japan and Europe but completely skipped over in the USA. It is not technically complex or deep game, but it has charm. Like the Megaman Soccer.

>One of the best of all time.
Super Dodge ball is an amazing game!
I hate sports games generally, but I enjoy NBA Hangtime on the N64 & Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube.

Are there any NFL players who are still active today while also being playable in a /vr/ game?

Do Captain Tsubasa/Tecmo Cup count as a sports games?

I played a lot of sports (mostly hockey and baseball) when I was a teenager, so sports games appealed to me. These games were fun enough for me to play regularly and very often with friends who didn't play sports. I'll leave off stuff that's "not retro."

NHL 94 (Sega CD)
Championship Soccer 94 (Sega CD)

>>5430726

2020 Super Baseball. That's my all time fav. Bought a PCMCIA memory card for that a couple of days ago. So i can finally beat the game without having to do it in one long session.

Madden '92 Ambulance reporting in

>>5431543
Oh god i remember this.

>>5431543
didn't that happen for real a couple of years ago?

>>5433859
One of the equipment carts plowed through a bunch of people on the field before a game in Dallas, but i dont recall hearing about an ambulance hitting players.

>>5431543
>The nfl forced the to remove this in later games
No fun allowed

a few years ago a friend and I made up the entire community for competitive mega man soccer.
it was a good time

reminder that the goat is retro

Tsuppari Ouzumou on the Famicom is incredibly fun and surprisingly deep. Still need to try the SFC sequel.

>>5419091
Nope. ISS, ISS64, World Cup 98 (N64), Virtua Tennis, NBA Jam. I've never gotten into golf games but I hear they can be incredibly good, especially ones with records. Maybe I ought to try them some time.

>Baseball
Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars (NES)
Baseball Stars Professional (Neo-Geo)
Baseball Stars 2 (Neo-Geo)
Famista series (lots of platforms, but primarily the NES-SNES titles)
RBI Baseball series (NES; basically a localized version of the Famista NES series with some changes)

>Football
NFL Blitz (Arcade-N64-Dreamcast)
ESPN NFL 2K5 (PS2, Xbox)

>Basketball
NBA Jam (Arcade, various home ports)
NBA Hangtime (Arcade)
Street Hoop (Neo-Geo)
Arch Rivals (Arcade)

>Hockey
Ice Hockey (NES)
Blades of Steel (NES)
2-on-2 Open Ice Challenge (Arcade)
NHL Hitz series (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube)

>Golf
Neo Turf Masters (Neo-Geo)

...seriously, this is THE only golf game in your life that you need to play

>Tennis
Pong (Various platforms)
Realsports Tennis (Atari 2600)

>Volleyball
Beach Spikers (Arcade, Gamecube)


I'm not a sports game person at all, and while I'm very partial to baseball as a whole, I've enjoyed all of the above sports games. The only exception is ESPN NFL 2K5, which is on that list due to just how much effort was truly put into it compared to EA Shit's titles. It's worth taking a look at just for the FPV mode alone.

>BIG SEXY

>>5431543
How have i never known about this, thats great.

>>5434852
Hot Shots Golf 2 is a wonderful golf game with a ton of collectable, a nice post-game and the ability to play as 3 popular ps1 characters (gex, medieval guy and the clown from twisted metal.)
