To go along with our selection of NBA Jam as our Together Retro Game Club title, I thought it would be fun to see what everone’s favorite old-school sports titles are.   (The only restrictions for nominations were that they games were N64 or older and not include standard racing or wrestling games).
We had lots of nominations, but I narrored the list down to the most popular 30 titles — each of these titles actually had more than one nomination.

I’m a big Tecmo Super Bowl fan obviously 🙂 I just played Blades of Steel for the first time yesterday and I can see how that game would of been loved by hockey fans in the same way Tecmo Bowl was to football fans.

My top three choices would be.

1. Tecmo Super Bowl
2. NBA Jam
3. NHL 94
