Top Five Video Games of All Time (Sport Related)
This has been more difficult than I thought it would be...I have a list of approx. 20 games that I just absolutely love (part of that list I started in church this past Sunday btw, but I made it up right before the sermon started so I am ok) and have had the hardest time deciding my top five...but I did happen to make this "gem" my #5 Sports related pick of all time...

5. Mike Tyson's Punch Out - What a great game! A Nintendo masterpiece!!! I think I still have it out in the g
arage somewhere..."Little Mac" fighting guys 10 times bigger than he was...If you got the crap beat out of you (If I remember correctly) didn't you have your trainer "Doc Louis" riding a bike behind you helping you train a bit harder for your next demoted rematch?...and pushing the A and B button together at the same time, as fast and as hard as you could, just hoping to get up for the fifth time of the match.
The characters of the game were great too...starting out with Glass Joe, then Von Kaiser, Piston Honda - the Japanese Boxer - "I'll give you a TKO from Tokyo" guy. Next in line was Don Flamingo - what was up with that dance he did?...other characters such as King Hippo (the guy you had to hit in the stomach to knockdown), Great Tiger, and Soda Popinski - the drunk Russian boxer...

...I remember when I got to Super Macho Man...what a moment! - just one more to go(and btw he was not easy to take down)...but I must say I beat him fair and square with no cheats...Finally, the match of all matches...the "I think I lasted 20 sec. the first time I faced Mike Tyson" match...I will be honest here - I was so terrified and excited at the same time! - he moved so fast!!! - I thought it would be impossible to beat him...but through hours of having to fight Macho Man again and again after you would lose to Tyson (again the demotion thing) paid off! - again no cheats I am proud to say!
