  • You know, for as long as I can remember, sports games have been some of my favorite video games to play growing up. And that holds true today - I love things like MLB the Show, NHL, and the NBA 2K series - but I can't shake the feeling that a lot of retro sports games hold up just as well (if not BETTER) than their modern counterparts.
    So here's 10 (HAH! I miscounted - there's actually 11) I think hold up, that are still a blast to play today. Which are your favorites? Let me know.

    Going to answer all your games in this vid
    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Sega Dreamcast. Never played this but played Tony Hawk games on other systems. It's good.
    Baseball Simulator 1.000 Nes. Never played this. Looks like Baseball Stars which I like
    Outlaw Golf 2 Xbox. Looks like Tiger Woods Golf with women. Looks very good if it plays like Tiger Woods Golf.
    NBA Jam T.E. Sega Genesis.. Very good. I rather play this version than the arcade version simply because of the difficulty setting. So this game has a problem saving your stats once turned off though.
    Slalom Nes. Never heard of this
    NFL 2K Sega Dreamcast: Never played this. Looks good if you are saying it's simplistic.
    Golf Grand slam Nes. Doesn't look good. Never played it.
    WWF No Mercy N64. This is a very good game. I prefer the WCW/ NWO revenge game.
    NHL 94 Sega CD: This is very good. It adds a ton of extra things like better music etc & also adds video footage of the hockey players when they start & they talk about Most of the players so if you didn't know what went on in 94 or forgot this game will give you a history lesson about it.
    Super Dodge Ball Nes. Don't like it.
    Baseball Stars Neo Geo Pocket Color. Looks like Baseball stars. Never played this.

    True story. NBA Jam was the reason my friends and I started a basketball team.
    Which was something for a bunch of white Scottish kids.

    Side note: To me, “retro” doesn’t mean “old”, it is a fixed period in time. 30 years from now retro will still be the same the same games and consoles they are today.
