Back In The Day Show

In the wake of Super Bowl XLIV and looking ahead to March Madness, we regroup to talk about our favorite sports video games. Chris couldn’t make it, but he’ll be back with us soon. Coincidentally, our good friend Pat lends his voice to the discussion. Here’s just a few of the games we mention: Baseball, RBI Baseball, Bases Loaded, 10-Yard Fight, Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, Jordan VS Bird, NBA Jam, Blades of Steel, Track and Field, World Class Track Meet, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Pro Wrestling, WWF Royal Rumble, T & C Surf Designs, and more. We comment on the rudimentary, yet endearing, NES sound effects, advancements in graphics and game-play, how to cheat at Track and Field and World Class Track Meet, and the ridiculousness of a fishing video game. You get all that and more in this edition of the Back in the Day Show. Enjoy.

Correction: The umpire sound effects that we mention in the beginning of the show actually come from the NES game, Major League Baseball, and not RBI Baseball.
