Of course, NBA Jam was already famous in arcades across the world, but TE was the version that really made it explode (not literally) on consoles like the SNES and Sega Genesis. NBA Jam: Tournament Editionġ994 was clearly a good time for sports video games, as this year also saw the release of the acclaimed NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. The only infuriating aspect of the video game was the coin toss at the start to determine which team would bat first, because of course, who doesn’t want to be the batting team right out of the gate? Cue a lot of console resetting until you got the outcome you wanted. Somehow, it never gets annoying and adds yet another reason to play SIC non-stop. Everything from whacking the ball away for a six to clean bowling your opponent to unlimited “HOWZAT?” appeals is just awesome, but the gold medal has to go to the background calypso music on a loop. The game mechanics were so simple to pick up, and there’s really no tactics you have to worry about. Power (we didn’t even get first names) was close enough to Australia’s batsman, David Boon. Released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo, SIC unfortunately didn’t have any licence to use real names of players, but in the end, who cares? N. While it’s true that cricket can be boring at times, there’s certainly nothing tedious about SIC. If you don’t like cricket, then even that’s no excuse for this amazing sports video game.

We understand that there’s always going to be a difference of opinion based on which console you use or which era of gaming you grew up in, but this is our list. Of course, the biggest sports produce the biggest games, but that doesn’t mean a fantastic rally driving or cricket game can’t be found (see below). No matter what type of sport you’re into, there’s definitely a video game for you. Whether it’s an injury or bad weather, there’s always a time and place where you can take a break from the real world and play a sports video game. For all the sports fanatics out there, even you must realise that you can’t get out on the football field, basketball court, or racetrack 24/7. What’s better than playing sports in real life? Nothing, you say? Well, how about playing sports video games as a compromise. Photo by Alex Haney on Unsplash Top 6 Sports Video Games of All Time
