If Old-Gen Consoles had Online Capabilities, which games would you play?

[shugknight]

So back in the good old days of gaming, we had simplistic yet very fun games that we could play for hours on end. Never had to deal with waiting for patches or updating the game. We just would play with what we were given and deal with it. Fun times and many, many, many hours/days/months/years wasted in front of the TV playing them.

So if these old consoles had online multi-player, which games would have been fun to play with?

My list would probably be:

Nintendo:
RBI Baseball

I'm no genius, but isn't this already possible via emulation ?

It is, but most people don't do it.

Tons of fun with those 2 alone.

...we all know damn near every single one of us would have been battling online heavy in Tecmo Super Bowl. I know I would have.

Also Super Dodge Ball probably would have been a big one online for me.

and how the heck could I have forgotten the wrestling games of the N64!?!?!

Goldeneye was also a very good game that I missed out on.
