Have any 8/16 Bit Sports Games Aged Well?

Post by timewarpgamer »

Seems like this genre has especially been hurt by the passage of the years. What do you think? The only games I can think of that are still really playable are:

Blades of Steele (NES)
NBA Jam (Genesis and SNES)
NHL '94 (Genesis)
Pete Sampras Tennis (SNES)

Also, can't really think of any Sega Master System of TurboGrafx-16 sports games that were EVER good. Not to mention held up over the years...

Baseball Simulator 1000 for the NES


I loved this game and sunk so many hours into it years ago. I just recently fired it back up on NesterDC (thanks Flak Beard!) and before I realized it, 3 hours had passed...

Mutant League series and the Kunio-sports (which includes Super Dodgeball) games are ones I've always loved.

Another vote goes out to NBA Jam. That game will always be fun.
Greatest Heavyweights on Genesis has also held up pretty well.
