The greatest game of the 80's hands down has to by Tecmo Bowl, but you can't forget Bases Loaded.

I thought bases loaded sucked. I hated the controls and the only interesting feature it had was that if you beaned the right guy at the right time, you could get him kicked out of the game. RBI baseball kicks Bases Loaded's ass day in and day out.

Was Tecmo Bowl '80's? I thought it would have been early '90's. I'd pick Tecmo Bowl or Super Tecmo Bowl if I could.

Atari 5200 had a pretty sweet football game. I'll go with that, because I doubt anyone else would pick it.

I remember it as up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-start. (Or select-start, if your whiney-ass brother wants to play, too.)

How about the code for Mike Tyson? 007 373 5963. Damn.. and I can't even remember where I parked my car, sometimes.

And I forgot about the Ultima series. Those were good.

Wow, no one has picked some of the classic NES games...Castlevania, Russan Attack, Megaman, Bionic Commando,...

Also, how about the Empire Strikes Back game for the 2600. That game was sweet.

As far as stand-up arcade games, I always liked the hard to find Wizard of Wor.

I also loved playing baseball stars. my cousins and I used to have tournaments. one cool thing was when you managed your team and fired a player, it played that cool ass music as they walked off into the sunset.

classic.:biggrin:
