It's also not a sport.
I urge you to reconsider, as driving in a long competitive match is physically grueling and very dangerous at high speeds, with drivers needing high levels endurance and quick reflexes to even have a chance of winning. It may be a different kind of physical activity, but it is still more physical than you realize.

From the RPG poll, it seems that KOTOR will be staying, but Pokemon will be dropped. Perhaps a new poll can be taken with choices being Golf/Tennis/Hockey to replace Pokemon. Maybe include fishing too?

POLL:
Waialai
Virtua Tennis
NHL '94
(fishing?)

I think I would choose hockey.

SNESdrunk did a video recently of all SNES/Super Famicom hockey games:

You might ask him about what he thinks were the best fighting mechanics.

Oh, I'm not arguing it's not demanding or taxing or requires a high level of specialization and training. It's just not a sport.

If we end up getting rid of pokemon via the poll, my vote would be for NHL 94. The game is a lot of fun and the Sega cd version is the bomb. Such a fun game that really emphasizes the visceral impact of hockey.

I'd go Waialai, but i'd be happy with any of those. I played a lot of Bass Fishing on DC last year, so would like Tennis or Hockey, but all appeal to me at least a bit.

If Harvest Moon loses, I'd love to get folks to play World Heroes.

I like World Heroes. Are you thinking the series...or a specific one?
