Baseball

Year: 1985

Publisher: Nintendo

Genre: Sports - Baseball

I suppose that not every game can have - or even needs - a clever title. After all, Contra is one of the most well-known and beloved games of all time, and "contra" just refers to resistance fighters in general.

Year: 1985
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Sports - Football

With it comes what will be remembered as one of the most hit and miss selection of release titles in history. The first game alphabetically on that list? 10-Yard Fight.

"There is nothing new under the sun." King Solomon said that, and I'm pretty sure he cribbed it from someone else, possibly someone who was reviewing classic games.

The answer is actually pretty simple: because I want to.
