    The Nostalgia Lists: Three Favorite Sports Games


    Nostalgia is sort of an odd phenomenon, when you really think about it. Naturally, we tend to look upon items, events, and moments in our past lives with a fondness that may have not actually existed back when they were more prevalent than they are now.

          Going to show my age but I guess if I was to list the 3 games that at the time dominated my hours of gaming they'd be the following:-
          1) Match Day 2 - ZX Spectrum
          2) Ice Hockey - Atari 2600
          3) Football Champion - ZX Spectrum

            Bltiz was awesome! So was JAM. Of course I remember Triple Play as well.

            Do you folks remember Bird Vs Jordan on the Genesis? I lost hours (and sadly most of my puberty) on that!

                    As to, say, 10+ years ago:
                    Front Page Sports Football 97
                    High Heat Baseball 2001
                    NFL 2K5 (yeah, not quite 10 years, but I had to make an exception)
