Best sports games of all time?

[houstonlibrarian]

I put a list out there on my blog. Most of them are classic games, with only the Wii Sports making a brief appearance. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the choices?

Classic Sports Games

[FxMercenary]

Mutant league Football.

NBA Jam (Tournament Edition, lol bill clinton )

[darkhades]

Nhl 94

[gepeto]

World Series Baseball for the Saturn

[tom]

Pong.

Super Mario Kart number 1? then you haven't played Checkered Flag, 2-people lynxed up,1000 times better. Now there's an excellent sports racer. (Looking through the list you mostly played Nintendo sports games only, try some excellent Genesis, PSX or Amiga sports titles, way better than the Nintendo stuff)

[Cauterize]

You missed the best one of all time out, Sensible Soccer (Amiga).

[Ro-J]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Pro Wrestling (NES)

NHL '94

And if Mario Kart can count as a sports game, then I would like to throw in Street Fighter II as a MMA entry.

[TurboGenesis]

My favorite sports games are all found on the Neo Geo.

Baseball Stars 2
League Bowling
Neo Turf Masters

and one on Dreamcast…

Tennis 2k2 or Virtua Tennis

These mentioned sports games are timeless, enjoyable, competitive, and great while playing with a friend…

yes put punchout on that... and nhl 94 (although i liked 93 and 95 more)

id also like to add world series baseball for genesis... that game is probably the greatest baseball game of all time...

Hmm, I dunno about counting racing games as sports games in the videogame world. It's ok in the real world, but there are just too many sports and racing games to combine them in one genre imo.

[Therealqtip]

Blitz for the N64

[sebastiankirchoff]

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!!
Tony Hawks Pro Skater (not sure if that counts)
Wii Sports
And if racing games count, Mario Kart Double Dash.

[Ruudos]

International Superstar Soccer Deluxe (SNES)

[cyberfluxor]

I'm not much of a sports gamer, but below are some of my favorites:
Tennis for the Nintendo Game Boy
Mutant League Football on the Sega Genesis
Capcom Bowling in the Arcade
Blades of Steal release on Nintendo Entertainment System
Konami's Track & Field at the Arcade
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleased for PC
NBA Jam T.E. for Arcade

[Atarileaf]

Ice Hockey on the 2600

BTW, whats the difference between regular Punch-Out and Mike Tyson Punch Out? (Besides the ear biter being in one?) Aren't they basically the same game? I just picked up a regular Punch-out yesterday.

Discounting motorsport? I assume? In which case, SWOS beats just about everything there ever was into a cocked hat, shits in said hat and buries it under twenty feet of soil. Sheer perfection.
