What do you think are the best 8-16 bit sports games?

Mega Man Soccer
Super Dodgeball
Super Bases Loaded

Yeah, that's about it.

Cool I haven't listened to this but I will now.

Projectyle (Atari ST and Amiga). Has an awesome soundtrack
Mutant League Football (Genesis)
Mutant League Hockey (Genesis)
Brutal Sports Football (Amiga, also available on Atari Jaguar)
Blood Bowl (MS-DOS). It's turn-based strategy rather than a normal action sports game, but it's pretty much the coolest sports game of all time (Based on a fictional and more violent version of American football with different Warhammer armies/races as playable teams )

Thanks for the Projectyle suggestion. Didn't know this one, will try to get a look into it - the music is certainly awesome.

I'm surprised that in your list of fictional sports you left out the amazing classic:
Speedball 2

There are some modern remakes that I have not tried, and the original was released for some platforms including Amiga, DOS and Genesis.

I don't often play sports games, but when I do, I play World Class Baseball for the TurboGrafx 16. Stay retro, my friends.

You can't lump 8bit games with 16bit games; not fair.

This.


and don't we already have a thread for this....?
