What about Jordan vs. Bird: 1 on 1? I think that was even made by EA, the pioneer of modern sports game rehash mediocrity.

[Perkar]

it's already been mentioned here, but i must add my thoughts...

Ken Griffey Jr Baseball for SNES (the first one, NOT Winning Run) is my absolute favorite baseball game of all time. eay to learn controls, great gameplay, some fairly amusing animations... oh man, i think i might have to pull it out tonight.

[AB Positive]

Wow, I'm a little surprised no one said this one yet but my favorite golf game of all time:

Outlaw Golf.

I rented it on a lark, ended up paying 3 weeks of blockbuster late fees. Golf engine is surprisingly good and I love the use of the second analog stick to do golf shots.
