Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to get your opinions about the Saturn sports titles. I know- most will likely say that the Saturn's strength is not sports games, but I'm interested anyway, lol. Below are what I consider to be the best sports games that I have. Please let me know if there is a better game out there that I'm missing out on. In better, I'm looking for something with strong graphics (mainly) and good gameplay.

Hockey - NHL All Star Hockey 98
Soccer - Worldwide Soccer 98
Basketball - NBA Action 98
Wrestling - AJPW feat. Virtua & Fire Pro Wrestling 6 Man Scramble
Boxing - Center Ring Boxing
Football - they are all lousy! Madden, NFL, and Quarterback Club 97
Tennis - Don't have one... suggestions?
Golf - probably too boring, but I have PGA Tour 97
Racing - Sega Rally / Daytona USA / Manx TT Superbike


While I'm at it, I love fighter games too! Anything better than these?

Dead Or Alive
Virtua Figher 2
Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix
Street Figher Alpha
Street Figher II
Virtual On
Marvel Super Heroes
Last Bronx
Galaxy Fight
Night Warriors
Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Tennis 2k1 is great, 2k isn't a joke either.

I never played the 2K series sport games, but I heard nothing but good things from the World Series Baseball. Unfortunately I can't recall >what< year was the best.

My personal fav SS game *3vah* is Sega Rally. Even though it only had 2+1 cars and 3+1 tracks, I could play time trial for hours. Touring Car had really cool music from Avex Trac but driving was awful. I mean you could almost do better by just holding down gas and NOT steering comparied to if you attempted to steer.

There was a Japanese 2D wrestling game that was popular, but I cannot recall. It feetured a royal rumble mode with mad amounts of charactors that was fun as all get'up.

Fighters: Any of the vs. series by Capcom are good. SNK had some good ones if you like SamSho or KoF. Others that I remember are WakuWaku7, Groove-on Fight and Asuka 120%. You already have Nightwarriors, and to me, was the best...I failed drafting because of that one! Don't forget Gaurdian Heroes, nothing like a 6-player brawl!

My favorite baseball game I have ever played is World Series Baseball '98 for the Saturn.
