I created an account just to say how much of a snub World Series Baseball 98 for the Saturn not being on this list is. That game had a lot of firsts in American baseball games (pretty sure the first to let you guess pitch pre-at bat, pretty sure the first to have real 3D stadiums, the first to have player specific swing AND pitching deliveries). I might have to dig out the Saturn and fire this up during March Madness.

Also on the mid-majors snub list (to keep it NCAA Analogy):
-NHL Hitz (some of the best co-op in sports history)
-Power Pro Baseball (arguably the series that lead to the Road to Glory and My Player modes).

Super Tecmo Bowl was a complete game changer. That is definitely my alum school in this fictional universe.

Also, did anybody ever play the ORIGINAL arcade Tecmo Bowl? I saw one once when I was visiting family in the midwest and went to the movies. It was pretty sick instead of button mashing when someone tried to tackle you they had joystick wiggling. And I'm pretty sure I remember local stats for the best rushers/passers being shown in the attract mode loop.
