The sports game that was to show how inferior the Atari 2600 was compared to the Intellivision.
Only thing was I played Super Challenge Baseball more on the 2600. Same game as Major League Baseball. Less buttons to press. Same fun.

Had completely forgotten to include the Intellivision here!  I've yet to test out these games on my Intellivision.  Will have to give them a spin.  Love the speech on World Series!

I was shocked when I realised you hadn't already posted them!

Yes it does!  I was surprised it didn't have a million versions, though, since the other Nintendo systems do!

If you want a million versions see the Mega Drive / Genesis!

That list took me forever and I bet I still missed some!!!

Interesting how on the N64 the games are either very realistic or cartoony.

Interesting how on the N64 the games are either very realistic or cartoony.

If you look you will notice that all the Japanese games go for the cartoony look while the western games go for realism, shows a big difference in what different markets want from their games.
