Best football game: Tecmo Super Bowl
Pros: Nearly everything, Wayne Haddix
Cons: Not good for player vs. player

Best basketball game: NBA Jam
Pros: Create players, outstanding player vs. player, Grandpa
Cons: Dino Radja

Best baseball game: Baseball Stars
(narrowly edges out Baseball and Baseball Simulator 1.000)
Pros: Create Players, When It Is., prestige
Cons: Baseball Stars 2

Best hockey game: NHL ‘94
(beats out Nintendo Hockey)
--Okay, so this one breaks my “realistic” argument, sort of.

Best other sports game: Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out
Pros: Little Mac, Doc Louis
Cons: Mike Tyson
Best non-sports games:
1) The Legend of Zelda
2) Super Mario Bros.
3) Tetris
4) Pitfall!
Zelda was more complex than any sports game, but my bet is that the newer versions were/are not as fun as the original despite all the technology upgrades.
I’m not sure that I have a point here…other than you can take your Wii and your X-Box 360 and your Halo and shove it. Or shove them. Give me pixels and the basketball players with big heads and the running backs who can’t be stopped.

I hate to correct you, but we played NBA Hang Time, not NBA Jam. I bet you're saying "Nooo!" to yourself right now in the announcer's voice...at least I am.
Dude, the Trademe brothers, "Strainer" and NHL double aught get no props?? I see how it is.
Once I fix my tv, we need to start a Temco season!
Yeah, I mistakenly meshed two games together.
Lunstad and I used to play a lot of NBA Jam at Fuddruckers. We were always Larry Johnson and Kendall Gill (Hornets), and I recall Dino Radja being particularly nasty with the elbows.
That's hilarious. NBA Jam made me think of Fuddruckers...
And NBA Hang Time made me think of "Grandpa! Grabs the rock!" I ruled that game.
He's unconscious!
