AND.... Drumroll Please......

I got a Virtual Boy. Yes, when I was digging around GameTraders' box of N64 and Sega Games, a guy came in and tried to sell it (obviously they wouldnt take it). I snatched that shit up like no other for only five bucks. Ironically, my buddy called and the "invincible" music from Sonic 2 played on my phone immediately afterwards.

Virtual Boy:

System
Mario Tennis
Virtual League Baseball

All for the grand total of: $75. $65 for the Virtual Boy, N64 and stuff and the 360 games and then I have to pay Unclescam777.

What do you think? Please try to think of who you are talking about when you say that all of these sports games suck.

Well........you could've cut a lot of the redundant sports titles by only buying the latest versions (or earlier ones which have unique features which later installments lacked) of EA's stuff and, then and now, those piss-poor third-party sports efforts by companies trying to ride on EA's coattails TOTALLY aren't worth it. Sony, Tradewest, Konami.....though there were a few non-EA sports efforts that I recall were worth looking in to. I was just trying Konami's "NBA Give 'N Go", a late-gen 1995 release for the SNES, earlier this month and was surprised to find a shallow, yet interesting b-ball game that has the best faux-3D I've seen in an SNES sports game.........yeah, even better than the abysmal first-gen "NCAA Basketball". I read that it was Konami's console take on their old, 3D-esque coin-op B-Ball game, "Run 'N Gun", which I'm interested in playing. The old "Slam 'N Jam" baskbetball series for the 3DO and PS1 (by Crystal Dynamics) is also inspired by Konami's coin-op.

I used to own "Super Play Action Football" before I sold my SNES collection in '06........as a matter of fact it was the only football game I owned. It was alright, had an NFL license, but was slow. It also used the SNES' purty high-res mode for its menu screens, a rarity.


"X-Perts" (Sega's failed DKC-killer from what, '95-'96) and "Super Wrestlemania"= YUCK. Ditto for the friggin' Virtual Boy.......I'm terrified of ever trying that contraption, seeing as I'm horribly nearsighted to begin with.

It was worth it for X-perts, that game is like the predisesor of metal gear solid only way better in every way. JJ, it looks like you will be stocked on 16-bit sports games for awhile.

Aarzak, they were all just in a box that Unclescam had. I didnt pick and choose.

Oh, okay. Though I have heard that some of those early Maddens and NHL's on the SNES are absolute slow dogs, blech.

As for "X-Perts", ain't there an interview with one or some of the developers of that turd on this site that mentions how even they recognize that the gameplay was.........unplayable???

Holy shit how much sports titles :shock:
