Sports genre least popular? Since when? I don't know how big sports games were in your neck of the woods back then, but I sold a solid amount of sports during my Wal-Mart days. Tecmo Sports also attracted armchair athletes by the droves. A local game store at the mall had waiting lists for Tecmo Super Bowl 2. Based on that and the sheer number of sports titles that were released, it's safe to say it was a pretty popular genre.

Now Jeopardy, sports edition or not, I have no idea how popular that was. Like you said, it was probably somethingthat got rented, presumably by dads who know their sports and wanted something new instead of poker night.

As for a game I want to play less than this? Easy-Cheetahmen, any of the Panesean games or any game on Action 52.
