Patrick Hruby offers up a fun read on the best and worst of sports video games. All three idiots have wasted countless hours playing seasons of Madden, NHL, and College Football. I was even able to remotely follow hockey during my college years thanks to the wonderful world of Sega.Some omissions from the article I feel worth mentioning:
NBA Jams: A great game that Friend of the Idiots, the Captain, and myself spent way too much time playing. It doesn't get any better than getting Nick Anderson "on-fire."
Bill Walsh College Football: EA Sports' fore-runner of the "NCAA" Franchise. This was before EA Sports had the official NCAA license to the game, so all teams were names of cities. It was a battle bringing State College in to play South Bend. And Pullman was unstoppable with Drew Bledsoe.....I mean QB #11. I replayed many Cuse-Miami blowouts from the early 90's on this one.
The "Start Playoffs Now" Feature: A must for any baseball game. Let's be honest, did anyone really make it through an entire 162 game season?
WWF Royal Rumble: I know it's not a sport, but this was another classic from my college Sega days. My buddies would fight over who would be Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man. Me....well I preferred a superstar with a little more "arrogance":

Wow - the model Rich Martel. That is excellent, excellent stuff.
i wonder how much money we collectivly spent playing nba jams. didnt we have vip access to that game at the jamesway arcade?
i would like to make a suggestion on the wwf ( wwe is weak at best )game. if you were in a pinch and the "other guy took hogan / macho in the tag team mode, may i humbly suggest DEMOLITION. One of the most underrated tag teams of the 80's, awesome intro music, axe and smash, strong names, nuclear mushroom cluds in intro video. i'm going to teach joe how to powerbomb right now.
later b-b-b-b-b-oyz,
captain
