A retro-oriented countdown of the top ten sports games of all time. The list has some odd choices (Mega Man Soccer?) but also includes some perennial favorites such as Tecmo Bowl and NBA Jam.

Without a doubt the best football game ever made, and you could only choose between 8 plays! This game goes to show how much simplicity dominates complexity in video games, not to mention the fact that you could throw a 110 yard hail mary with 5 seconds left on the clock to win the game and leave player 2 stunned, jaw dropped to the floor, mumbling to himself “you can’t do that in real life!”; and that is just it. This is not simply just some “real” football game. It expands the limits of reality. This is football for those with a big imagination and the desire to throw a football much farther than they ever could in real life.
