Is anybody else out there intrigued by the Pre-Polygon sports game era? For whatever reason, I find myself interested in sports games that don't use polygons. I'm especially interested in Playstation and Saturn and 3DO and that time period sports games that didn't yet attempt polygons.
Here are some classic sports games that were on 32 bit systems before the advent of polygons:
John Madden '97 - Playstation - The first Madden to reach the PSX. And the last Madden to use sprites.
NBA Live '96 - Playstation - One of E.A.'s first attempts on the PSX. Sprite based players with 3D backgrounds.
Triple Play Baseball 97 - Again, Sprite based players with 3-D backgrounds. Excellent presentation.
NFL Gameday - The original NFL Gameday. Sony was there in late 95 when E.A.'s Madden was a no show.
Fifa International Soccer - 3DO - This was one of the most impressive early 3DO games. Incredible sound.
Slam N Jam Basketball - 3DO - When Slam and Jam first hit on the 3DO it seemed really amazing. Never before had anybody seen such huge sprites in a basketball game.
World Series Baseball 1 and 2 - Sega Saturn - Before Triple Play '97 on the PSX, there was the World Series Baseball games on the Saturn.
NHL PowerPlay Hockey '96 - Sega Saturn - This was widely considered to be one of the best playing and flowing Hockey games of the early 32 bit era.
