A Feeling of Emptiness: Missed Game Series

[bhurst99]

I would love to play a good skiing game. Front Page Sport Skiing had a cool season mode but it crashed all the time on my PC. Sitting down with a buddy and playing that game was a blast.

Yeah whatever happened to this game? Easily my favorite golf game off all time. It was always so exciting to me when new courses came out for purchase. A lot of popular courses and a lot of hidden gems. The game was so simple, yet so demanding at times especially with some wind and hard greens thrown in. I really wish this would be brought back, or some other sim to come out. Tiger Woods makes me cry.

I miss all star baseball more than anything. Gameplay was a little arcade but it wasnt intended to be. Too many HR's,etc stuff that has plagued every game. The expansion mode with the alternate stadiums, etc was awsome.

Access software the original makers of the Links series on the PC was aquired by Microsoft in 1999/2000 or so if I remember correctly. After doing the xbox 1 version of Links along with a few pc versions from 2000-2004, Microsoft sold the studio to Take-Two where they became Indie Built, making the Amped snowboarding series. They were shut down by Take-Two in 2006.

It is scary to imagine what MVP Baseball 2008 would be like on PS3 or 360. There were very few flaws that needed to be corrected with that game, if you added better graphics, animations and improved sig styles....I don't even want to think about it! Damn you 2K!

Baseball Stars
Tecmo Bowl
2k Football (pro and college)
Outlaw Golf
Links

I will never forgive 2k for buying the rights to the MLB license. MVP never left my ps2 or PC until they did.
