TrekkiELO Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 With any of the Realsports games or Bowling included, although I still cannot wait to get my hands on one! Just curious, Rick Vendl II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I would have liked to have had Super Football included -- I bought that game around '93 for the first time, and was quite impressed by the graphics and gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I don't think the classic sports games genre's quite caught on with the modern gamer yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I don't think the classic sports games genre's quite caught on with the modern gamer yet. Ancient sports games tended to abstract things so much, and have such minimal user interfaces, that you practically had to play with the manual in your lap to tell what the heck was going on. With the Flashback 2, I think Atari was going for a more of a "pick up and play" experience than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I don't think the classic sports games genre's quite caught on with the modern gamer yet. 858863[/snapback] Yeah...and Video Checkers has caught on in a big way!

Tennis, Boxing, RS Tennis, RS Boxing, RS Volleyball, Fishing Derby (?), Ice Hockey, and Skiing are all pretty much "pick up and play" and are reasonably good games as well. Maybe FB 3.0...

ZylonBane Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 But do you really WANT to inflict the original Atari Baseball on people? Basketball, okay, that would have been a good one. In my first post I was more thinking about any game that includes a playbook. Games like Super Football, while impressive, are basically unplayable without memorizing the manual. A shame this never got released-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 wow nice - that football game would be pretty cool.. even though I have my original Mattel electronic football I'd enjoy playing Baseball on the Flashback 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 As a joke, someone at Infogrames should send out a few hundred FB2.0s with nothing but 40 variations of Home Run on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I had never played a video game, never mind baseball on the TV!!! As lacking as it seems now, I really enjoyed playing this game and used my imagination to fill in the obvious gaps. For me, the red vs. the blue team was always the Red Sox vs. the Yankees (I was always red ). Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best version of Stickball on the 2600. Now speaking of sports games, where is the love for Double Dunk? It does have a playbook, but you should completly ignore it if you want to do well against the computer and unlock the easter egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, any plans for updated or homebrew sports games being included? I hope so!!! BTW - thanks for all the information you've "leaked" about FB 2.0 - it is much appreciated!
