+KaeruYojimbo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Are there any good sports-related homebrews? Offhand I can think of a few. Blip, Bee Ball and Touchdown Challenge. They're maybe a little more "sports inspired" than straight-up sports games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Basketball, Bowling and Super Football are easily my three favorite sports titles on the console, and Double Dunk isn't far behind them either. Also, props to Realsports Boxing; it's pretty button-mashy, but it looks terrific (gotta love that cheering crowd in the foreground!), and hey, if nothing else, it was the only (new release) title to carry the "Realsports" moniker in the Tramiel-era. I wish there was a 2600 baseball game I could truly love. Home Run is interesting due to its primitiveness, and kinda fun when that's taken into account. I sorta like it despite all the reasons I probably shouldn't. And Pete Rose Baseball certainly looks great, and the big name-license is very cool, though it's more of a curio than anything given the events that transpired not long after its release. (Bad timing, Absolute!) Edited May 9, 2018 by King Atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisg Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I'd go for Home Run. I love what an abstract and strange representation of baseball it is, complete with ball steering! Bowling is fun, Mini Golf is good if you count that (it's sports-like ), and Basketball seems pretty fast and furious but I haven't put much time into it. You know what I dig a lot though is the volleyball in Video Olympics. That is really fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emulator on PC) - Activision Decathlon (C-64) - Jimmy Connors Pro Tennis Tour (Super-NES) - Microprose Soccer (C-64) - Speedball 2 (Amiga) - Winter Games (C-64) These sportsgames i played again and again and again in former times and even now from time to time.

easmith Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Are there any good sports-related homebrews? I am partial to Pickle , by some guy called easmith, which I think qualifies as sports-related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Cowboy Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Activision's Tennis and Ice Hockey, Realsports Volleyball and Realsports Soccer... at least those are the ones I've played that I thought were really good. They're maybe a little more "sports inspired" than straight-up sports games. Careful with that distinction, you could almost technically say that about any 2600 sports game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Are there any good sports-related homebrews? Bee Ball is basically a sport game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Spriggy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Another vote for Fishing Derby and Indy 500 More-so for 2 players...... and beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisg Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Ahh Sky Diver and Fishing Derby are awesome. Sky Diver is so underrated these days. I remember Steeplechase also being fun, but I haven't played it in a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hands down, Bowling is the only sports title I can play over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easmith Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 By today's standards , not very good, but I really played the heck out of realsports baseball, realsports football, and realsports soccer and enjoyed them at age 10. Also I remember enjoying super challenge football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I dont consider racing the same category as sports, so excluding those ... 2600 - Golf , Activision Hockey and Skiing are still fun. But played RS Baseball the most bitd. 5200 - RS Soccer bitd. But RS Baseball is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
