543rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: NES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Tecmo Publisher: Tecmo Time for another sports game I don’t know much about! I’ll be watching the Superbowl at some point, but until then most of my knowledge of American football comes from the theory of how it’s meant to work, bits […]

528th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Tokyo Shoseki Publisher: Nintendo It feels like there are a fair amount of tennis games on the list. I suppose it’s the standard approach – Pong started it, and even afterwards it’s a pretty simple formula to start with as a sports […]

512th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Mega Drive Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Park Place Productions Publisher: EA Sports Time for another sports game – hockey again. NHL Hockey, unlike its more recent brother NHL 10, has stayed on the list of games – as you’d expect from an older game, really. I can’t […]
#65 Ballblazer

509th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Various Year of Release: 1984 Developer: Lucasfilm Games Publisher: Atari I’m not quite sure what to say of Ballblazer, as in my mind it’s just on the list, without any notable qualities. An early sports game that sounds somewhat soccer-like, with a sci fi veneer but also limited […]
483rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1983 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami Sports games have been around for a while, and today we’re going to play an early one. Many newer ones don’t necessarily grip us, but it feels like a large part of it is because they become impenetrable if […]

453rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Game Boy Color Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Camelot Software Planning Publisher: Nintendo In general, we like Mario games – they are done well, whether it’s an RPG, a platformer or a racing game. A branch that we haven’t really covered are his (semi-)sports games. We’ve also covered […]

440th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Arcade/Dreamcast/PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: AM1/Sims Publisher: Sega Up until now, my knowledge of fishing has been theoretical. Conversations with friends who went fishing, some attempted bonding some fifteen years ago, bits and pieces I picked up here and there. Sega Bass Fishing, then, isn’t my game, […]
421st played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo If there is one game that defined Nintendo’s success with the Wii, it’s Wii Sports. It’s what made the console acceptable – and even a must buy – to most casual gamers, and while it drew the ire of […]

411th played so far Genre: Sports/Action Platform: Amiga Year of Release: 1990 Developer: The Bitmap Brothers Publisher: Image Works The Speedball series (two entries) is a sports game. Not, as the genre often implies, a sports game that is played on fields around the world right now, but instead a futuristic setup that works in […]
