It's retro sports season here at the Racketdome! Pull out those pixelated or low-poly bargain bin games and show them that they're still worth being loved. Below are some suggestions to get clueless people started, though I'm not well versed enough with some sports genres like golf (I'm also obviously USA sports biased here). I don't want to limit anyone too much in regards to what "retro" means, but let's try not to have current gen games in the mix. You don't need to include balls in your sports experience either, want to box? No problem, want a racing game? Sure! Just stay within the theme of "sports."
The opening kickoff has begun, let's go sports!
