25. Bases Loaded (NES - 1988)
24. NFL Street (PS2/Xbox - 2004)
23. Ice Hockey (NES - 1988)
"The fat guy, the skinny guy and the average-sized guy. Nintendo's "Ice Hockey's" brilliance lied in its simplicity, as gamers were able to build their teams based on player size and skill, so a team of two fat guys and two skinny guys would enable you to have two amazing power players, with two extremely fast skaters leading the break. Some gamers preferred four skinny guys to blaze their way up and down the ice; some wanted one of each body type for balance, while others preferred four fat guys slowly bruising their way up the ice while unleashing furious slap shots on their opponent's net."
22. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters (PS3/360/Wii - 2011)
21. Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs (Genesis/SNES - 1992)
"You know you're old school when someone mentions Tom Chambers, and the first thing that comes to mind is the way his character could dunk from the 3-point line in EA Sports' "NBA Playoffs" franchise. Back in the day, every superstar in the game featured his own signature move, from Shawn Kemp alley-ooping the ball to himself off the glass to Michael Jordan's air reverse to, of course, Chambers' insane slam from just inside the arc."
