Sports are video games that simulate sports. This opposing team(s) can be controlled by other real life people or artificial intelligence.

The 5th generation of gaming consoles had a ton of yearly sports titles, as well as the arcade style sports games across the board. I spent most of my sports gaming time on either the PS1 or the N64, as they had more advanced controllers for a more realistic approach to a sports game. On N64, I frequently played NFL QB Club 98 as the graphics were so realistic at the time that it was mind blowing, and I was also playing quite a bit of NBA In The Zone 98, while my brother played Ken Griffey Jr’s Slugfest to death. As I look back now, I wasn’t playing EA Sports titles on the N64 for some reason, although I remember the Madden games being unplayable to me on the N64. PS1 is definitely my pick from the bunch! I started out with the 989 Sports Launch titles like Gameday, Face Off, and In The Zone, later moving on to NBA Shoot Out that year. The next year, I played Madden 97 a lot, but also playing the shit out of NCAA Gamebreaker and Gameday 97, but I played a ton of Triple Play 97 as well which switched me back over the EA Sports games. The next year I was big into NFL Gameday 98, and started playing a lot of NFL Blitz when it came to home consoles. I had it on PS1, but all of my friends had it on N64 so that one is kind of a wash for this topic. By 1999-2001 I was only playing EA Sports titles, and as I mentioned before, I never really played any on the N64, so PS1 got the lions share of my sports gaming during the 5th generation.

Heat is one of the best action movies from the 90s btw.

BUMP I thought that this debate would be a huge hit. I wanna bump it before my next entry comes out on Sunday.

Barely...

Sadly I was such a Sony fanboy at the time that I didn’t give the 360 a fair shake most of the time, and it just collected dust most of the time. I feel like the PS3 should finish in third behind the Xbox and the Wii with juggernauts like Halo, Mario, and Zelda out there, but the PS3 had some bangers too. I feel that Xbox and Wii had the huge hitters, but outside of those, it was a little limited, where the PS3 had so many quality exclusives like Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, God of War, Last of Us, Uncharted, and many others, I believe that it stands above the others.

Platform exclusivity (also known as console exclusivity) refers to the status of a video game being developed for and released only on certain platforms. Most commonly, it refers to only being released on a specific video game console or through a specific vendor's platforms—either permanently, or for a definite period of time. -Wikipedia 7th Generation Consoles: Microsoft Xbox360 Sony Playstation 3 Nintendo Wii Mattel Hyperscan I know that an exclusive is not a genre, but I feel that I screwed the pooch with last weeks debate, so I am trying to make up for it by using an amazing topic.

I really just like discovering them. Seeing scenes in familiar movies that I have never seen before watching it on laserdisc. A few movies that come to mind that are a bit different are Major League, Ace Ventura, Jurassic Park.

I have around 400 laserdiscs currently. I havent bought any for a couple of years, but I leave it hooked up in my theatre incase I want to watch a different cut of a movie that is only available on LD.

I have a few collections. I collect movies on all formats such as laserdisc, CED, VCD, and all of the common ones of course. I have a lil bit of sports memorabilia left from my childhood, but I very rarely buy anything new. I collect cars. Mostly Hondas, but I have a sweet spot for rare cars that failed in the market like Fieros, Probes, or extremely rare versions of cars like my prized Civic RS. On top of the cars, I also collect Honda accessories and marketing materials, like my Honda standees with Skeletor on them.

I have always wanted to visit Cinci, but my wife doesnt think theres anything to do. Id be fine with trying out the local favorites just for the experience. Im very curious bout these chips now.

I think Reddit is cool, and you can find a ton of good content, but there is so much, that I cant even fathom trying to keep up on just reading stuff. I dont even look anymore because its just too much. Are any of you regulars on there?

I just got an extra Hottest Party pt 1 CIB if youre interested.

I gave it an 8/10 because it wasnt life changing for me like NES or PS1, but I have put countless hours into playing the latest versions of all of the games I normally play thru the year.

That is awesome!

Days of Thunder

I watched Stroker Ace recently. Burt Reynolds was pretty much awesome in everything he was in.

I just dont see GT being a sim game. Theres no car damage, which makes it far from realistic. I think a simulation with cars would be Hard Drivin where youre not actually racing anything. You just get a timer.

That is awesome!!! Welcome to the Sage.

No prob. It hadnt even made my list yet, but oh well.

I disagree with your views on racing games and sports games being sims 100%. Is Madden a sim or a sports game? Gran Turismo is absolutely a racing game, and not a sim, even though it marketed itself as the Real Racing Simulator, but its a racing game. Flight sims, I would say Flight Simulator is the only one that qualifies as a sim, but being on PC, its excluded from this conversation. Im not trying to sound like a dick whatsoever, but Im just trying to get my thoughts across.

So much for ever covering that topic in this series...
