Favorite Retro Sports Games

For as long as video gaming has been around, sports games have been coming out by the plenty year by year. But certain sports games from the past have seemed to transcend it's time, it's outdated roster, because, well, it's still fun to play. So this thread is dedicated to our favorite classic, retro games we still love to play.

So what are your favorite classic/retro sports games?

I've got a few: The NFL 2k series (2k, 2k1, 2k2) for the Dreamcast is some of the best football games I've ever played. Every now and then I pop one in to the dreamcast and play. A lot of what we are used to in football games now started with this series (online play, gameplay style, etc.) The games still play as good as a remember it.

World Series Baseball 98', For the Sega Saturn was a game I heard many good things about before I ever got it a few years back, but wow when I played it, it blew my mind how good it was for a old baseball game, It's not fancy, but it mechanics were tight and very easy to play.

So here's some exampels of my fav classic sports games. What are some of yours?

mine would probably be nba hangtime on the snes the best basketball game ive played they need to make a sequel!!!!!!!

Madden 2009 for ps2. NBA live 97 for SNES

ESPN NFL 2K5 was awesome. I think there was an old Nes or Snes baseball game called Baseball Simulator 2000 or 3000 or something, it had like witches and robots and stuff. That's probly the funnest baseball and/or sports game I've ever played! Anyone else play that one?

It was Super Baseball Simulator 1000, that was it...fun fun fun! Oh and it was SNES, there was an older one for NES I think, but this is the one I remember playing.

Wait a minute, that may not be it, I'm watching footage on YouTube and I don't see them crazy characters that I remember. Anyone remember what I'm talking about? I remember some doing this cyclone thing when batting and hitting it out of the park.

Blades of Steel for the NES.

Tecmo Super Baseball and NBA Jam, both for the SNES, were the two best sports games ever in my opinion. I absolutly love playing these games and still play them to this day.

I think the World Cup 98 (not the road one) was better (N64 version), that game was short but a lot of fun.

Nintendo World Cup for the NES and Fifa 98 for the Saturn. Also World Soccer 97 for the Saturn and Dodge Ball for the NES.

I'm rather fond of:

John Madden '92, NHL '96, Fifa '95, PGA Tour Golf 2, Pete Sampras Tennis, (MegaDrive / Genesis)
International Superstar Soccer 98 (Nintendo 64)
NFL Blitz 2000, Virtua Tennis, Virtua Athlete, NHL 2K (DreamCast)
