Who remembers Baseball Stars?

I'd make a team and hire new guys/girls with upgrade poiny totals in the mid to high 80's. Then I'd name them after my family members & friends. Then I'd upgrade them completely. Then go undefeated in tournaments lol.

Played that for hours and hours.
 
Not much into video games anymore. Used to love NBA live and FIFA . Rise of Nations was my favorite strategy game like 10 years ago.
 
Fallout 1-2
Baldur's Gate 2
Witcher
Deus Ex
Diablo 2

Honorable mentions: Braid, Urban Chaos, Elder Scrolls, Devil May Cry, Crusader Kings 2, Deathspank.

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!! BASEBALL STARS is my #1. I used to love that game. It is the best baseball game ever by far imo. That game is what, 25+ years old and has solid graphics, player movement, and in-game stuff...I remember one game when I was hawking a ball down in centerfield. I was sprinting toward left center and could tell it was gonna be close...but I was closing in on the wall...I had never done it before and I'm not even sure if I had to hit a special button to do it, but without stopping, I climbed the wall and stole a home run away from the computer. It was so freakin' epic. Keep in mind kids, if you don't know the game, this was around 1989 or so.

My fave teams were probably the two best. I don't remember their names but one had classic studs, I think like Nap Lajouie or however you spell it. But I sort of liked using the Japanese team more because their lineup was like having 9 Ichiro's. I could bunt perfectly down the line and get on probably 7/10 times or something.

Man. Good memories, man. I wished I still had that game. Around the same time, I remember staying up all night at my friend's house on a Saturday playing Karnov, and that off-roading game where you raced four laps generally and had nitro and all that...loved that! Super Off-Road maybe???

Lol, I like playing against the MLB legelds. The powering up and hiring/firing was the best. I laughed at the graphic for firing a guy every time.

No joke...I don't remember. Could you basically lay franchise mode in that? Like play 162 games and improve your team from season to season?
 
5. Q-Bert
4. Asteroid
3. Pitfall
2. Space Invaders
1. Spyhunter

I like the way you think. I would only add:

5. Galaga
4. Tron
3. Track and Field
2. Dragon's Lair
1. Elevator Action

I remember 3-5. I sucked at T&F. Just brutal...didn't they have hurdling? I seem to always remember you had to tap quickly in some rhythm for both that and the 100 meters and my guy would always start off decently and then trip over his own feet and then fall. That may be a different T&F game though.
 
Super Tecmo Bowl on NES. It was huge step forward in football. I love Madden, but the simplicity of STB was great.

Tomb Raider-Crazy how it looks like crap now, but was so awesome then

Metal Gear Solid II--Snake!!!!!!!!!!

Zelda 2-Awesome adventure

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. I remember the first time I beat Tyson, and once you learn the trick to dodge for a while (so one punch was not a KO) it was quite a bit easier. I still have the Tyson code in my memory and it has been forever since I played. 007 363 5963. HAHA. Good times.

That was probably the same one. The trick was, on the one I played, that they had 2 run buttons side by side. So what you did was wedge a comb or pencil in your fingers so if you tapped one side the other side fell automatically in between taps on the other button. You could get serious speed that way and I could always jump completely off the screen on things like the long jump.

Elevator Action was a pretty simple game that was just one of those really addicting ones. Lots of levels, each level a little harder yet still playable. You could play for hours on one quarter if you were decent at it. Here is a screen shot of the atari 2600 home console version, but the arcade version was way better:
