This was the game that made 14-year-old me fall in love with college football and realize that it can be just as fun as the pros. You could run routes with your receivers that were not preset if you chose. While I did like the Madden franchise even back then, Bill Walsh College Football changed the football experience for me. You may notice that there are no Madden games on this list. This game didnвЂ™t keep stats as well as some might have hoped, but it was a small price to pay for the cutting-edge advancement in sports gameplay. While that kind of play-by-play experience is just expected in this day and age, back in the early 90s, the release of Sports Talk Baseball and the commentary during game play was absolutely groundbreaking.

What set this game apart from the others, like the pretty awesome RBI Baseball, was the announcing. You could be aliens or mutants or robots and more and you could do crazy things like throw a true вЂњbombвЂќ that would blow up when caught, or go kill the referee when there were bad calls (donвЂ™t get any ideas, Richard Sherman!). Talk about changing the momentum of a game! This was an EA title and was designed using the Madden football games as a base, which made it feel that much more authentic despite it being a 7-on-7 game (this is probably why I coach 8-player high school football). ItвЂ™s probably because there are times where you actually kill your opponent. What can I say other than this game really stands out when you compare it to other football games. Here are the top 10, in no particular order, I suggest you snag and have ready to play when you buy your $138 Genesis next June: If youвЂ™re like me, then your old games are long gone (thanks, mom!), but thankfully you can still find them in thrift stores and pawn shops and online.ДЇor sports fans like me, this will be a chance to try your hand at some of those old games that used to feel so damn advanced when they first came out.

Unlike the reborn NES that doesnвЂ™t allow you to blow the dust out of your old cartridges and play them, the soon-to-be-resurrected Sega will not only come with pre-loaded games on a memory card, but it will also have a cartridge slot for you to play your old games. Folks who are around my mid-30-something age grew up with these products, and for many it is exciting to be able to play with them again, or show them to our kids. The truth is, companies have figured out that people are nostalgic and they are making the most of it. WendyвЂ™s announced it was bringing back its 1990s taco salad because people are apparently craving tortilla chips with lettuce again. And food like Crystal Pepsi and Surge are available to purchase and, if you dare, consume. ThereвЂ™s the original Nintendo Entertainment System that was recently released. The Sega Genesis is the latest in a long line of products that seem to be getting resurrected lately. It appears things from the 1990s just wonвЂ™t stay dead.
