Intellavision baseball baby! Lol. I played this religiously.Screenshot_20240821_121139_Chrome.jpeg

I loved this game on the NES just because you had home whites and road grays/blues.

Has anyone ever had the baseball game on their TI-83 calculator? I miss that game

My geometry teacher deleted it off my calculator and here I am 20 years later reminiscing about that game

I still have my Mattel Football 2, and it still works!

Edit: It worked as of five years ago. I need to find a 9-volt battery to see if it still works today.

I remember getting that hand held game for Christmas and honestly I can remember how it smelled. I played it all the time.

I played Sports Illustrated Football and Baseball on the SNES as a kid. I have fond memories of that game.

I don't remember if it had a true season or franchise mode. But it was unlicensed and I remember as a teenager basically creating my own season. I made up my own schedule and played 162 games and kept all the stats from my team in notebooks.

I also remember getting so pumped when one of the Ken Griffey games on N64 allowed me to play a second season after the first one was done.

This thread has me thinking about that with all the old school references.

Sorry! I didn't mean to send us all down old video game rabbit holes. But I'm enjoying it.

Ken Griffey baseball on SNES is where it was at! I think that one had real teams but not real players if I remember correctly?

I remember getting World Series Baseball on Sega Genesis and was amazed that the stadiums actually somewhat resembled the real life stadiums.
