How collectible are sports games in general?

[Arkhan]

It's also the oldest and most popular video game genre and the games age much more gracefully than most genres, as sports games continue to move further and further away from the "game" aspect.

Shewties predate Pong.


and since when are sports the most popular video game genre?

I thought platformers held that title.


sports games that aren't *insert year here* are the good ones.

I still play world class baseball pretty often. (there Vestcoat, back to turbo)
For NES, I love blades of steel, double dribble, and tecmo bowl. And tough crap if you don't agree, but Pro Wrestling was great!  
For genny, NHL and as mentioned NBA Jam is still fun.
As far as madden, I always thought 2003 was the pinnacle of the series. Too many needless changes every year.

Status: I collected the shit out of the TV Sports series!

I think sports games are collectible because a lot of them are very fun.

I love the 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit sports games with robots in them   I also like the arcade type games of old.

Are you asking which ones are good?  Which ones are worth money?  Most confusing thread ever.

I don't know anything about Tickle Me Elmo's. Are they still collectable? What about POGs? Should I buy them?

LOL at POGs.

[PunkicCyborg]

I still have all my pogs, saving them for when they become extremely collectable and I can cash in and by a yacht.

[Arkhan]

I still have all my pogs and slammers, mother f*ckers.


pogs rule.

I collected a few sports games for MVS: Street Slam, Sidekicks 2, Top Players Golf and League Bowling. They was cheap and I have a few friends that like sports games. Plus bowling is awesome.

Some how I ended up with a Relief Pitcher...need to sell that

I have Power Golf 1 and 2, W. Court Tennis, W. Class Baseball and that squat char Soccer game. Collect? No, I just like those games. Since I'm not a fan of sports, as Nect and Jeff well know, so teams and player names have no selling point for me.

Top Players Golf is f*cking awful.  Get rid of that shit and buy Neo Turf Masters.  And get Super Sidekicks 3 while you're at it.

[SignOfZeta]

Neo Turf Masters is GREAT.

Pretty much all SNK/Neo sports games are a blast. My favorite is Super Baseball 2020.

Say what? not a fan of sports?

I've been collecting dodgeball games, but I'm not sure if that's really considered a sport. 

Also a big fan of the other Kunio-kun sports games.
