Re: Your top-5 sports games
They were never really my thing, but these are the ones I played & enjoyed:
Horace goes skiiing*
Daley Thompson's decathlon
Frank Bruno's boxing
Chequered flag
I loved the characters in the Daley and Frank games. Was never sure why Bluto managed to become a pro boxer.
*predictive text changed this to Horace goes Skiving!

Re: Your top-5 sports games
My numer one would be Ping-Pong from Imagine. Incredibly playable with some great beeper tune and cool effect of cheering crowd.
I also like Geoff Capes Strong Man. Probably many people would say that it's nothing special but it's very unique somehow I found clicking on different muscles very entertaining
Winter Games is also very good, with pretty graphics, especially backgrounds.

Re: Your top-5 sports games
Me too! Back in the day I have no idea about that boring american game. Playing it I could learn most rules of it.
Great game, but for me it's always been bloody difficult to control the player.
Re: Your top-5 sports games
Yep, I think I learned the rules of baseball from playing WSB.
JBS is a bit jerky & sluggish compared to say, Match Point, which is why it doesn't make my top 5, but I quite enjoyed it anyway

I really wanted to like Hardball, but I just don't get on with it. It's impossible to play.
Re: Your top-5 sports games
This thread has reminded me how much I disliked sport games on the Speccy. Xeno, Match Point and Horace Goes Skiing (hardly counts) are, I think, the only ones I could ever stand.
I especially hated Match Day, but that might be because I can still rember Morkin beating me 96-1! (My goal came from a direct throw.)

Was it 'cos he gave you a deadarm?
Re: Your top-5 sports games
1. Match Day 2
2. Footballer of the Year
3. Football Manager
4. Nigel Mansell’s Grand Prix
5. Jet Bike Simulator
I was tempted to include World Games, as I remember playing it a lot, but decided it wasn’t actually good enough to merit a top five place. In fact I don’t think it would make my top ten sports games, so I am not sure why I have such fond memories of it.

1. Kikstart 2 Stone cold classic, lots of life in this thanks to the course designer and the computer player (or 2nd human player, if you so wish).
2. ATV Simulator Pretty damned good.
3. Emlyn Hughes's International Soccer Best football game on the Speccy.
4. WEC Le Mans Astonished at the speed of this, oh, what Out Run could have been.
5. Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road Pretty magnificent.

Re: Your top-5 sports games
So I forgot Xeno, and unforgivably, Bobsleigh. That certainly needs redressing:Mike Davies wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 6:06 pm
