Might I suggest NFL Blitz on the Nintendo 64? It's the only football game I ever played that I really enjoyed, particularly for the tackling system. Think of it more like a wrestling game with football trappings. Sure, it's all well and good that they've got more points on the board, I just suplexed their quarterback.
Honestly, even if we change the baseball category to sports, there's still a solid chance we'd end up playing a baseball game due to the large number of titles. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing other sports games be considered.
I don't think strategy will be easy to pull off, particularly RTS titles. There really just aren't that many console RTS games, and even fewer were spread across multiple consoles (Warcraft II is the only one that comes to mind off the top of my head). Turn based strategy however...well, there are certainly a few possibilities I can think of. But I'm hesitant to lump them into a single category with simulation. I'd like a clarification of what is meant by simulation: are we including titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator or Sim Chopper (which don't have console ports to my knowledge), or titles like Sim City, The Sims, Themepark, etc....or even Harvest Moon?
As for taking horror out...well, I'll miss it, but admittedly we've had quite a few complaints in the past when putting up older horror titles due to controls and gameplay mechanics, and the genre has a nasty habit of turning people away because they're too frightened to play. I don't mind seeing a year without one, especially since I'll still be playing them on my own anyway, as will likely other folks.
