Looked over the list of games still being ignored on nintendoage.come and decided to go for some sports action tonight. Picked two games off the shelf that I havn't touched at all before. Legends of the Diamond and Pro Sports Hockey.

Legends of the Diamond was about what you'd expect from a NES baseball title. Plays pretty much the same as the others I've come across. The gimmick was that you get to play as 8-bit versions of some of the most recognizable names in baseball from years past. Not being a sports fan of any kind I didnt recognize more than 3-4 of the players though.

They tried to add a bit of extra flare by adding things like spectators catching balls in the crowd, picking fights with the pitcher after being hit by a pitch, weiner dogs picking up foul balls, and breaking your bat in a fit of rage after getting struck out. Thats all they are though. Flare. They dont add anything special to the game.

There was also a VERY annoying glitch where if your outfielders run into the barrier at the end of the field they get stuck in the wall and you have to sit idly by while the other team slowly scores some runs. I've still got several other baseball games to play, but I've already played more fun and less broken games.

And what kind of Canadian would I be if I didnt commemorate a milestone like my 150th NES victory with anything other than a Hockey game?

Picked Washington because their goalie had the highest stats in comparison the other teams. I picked them since I could worry a bit less about the puck being in my end of the ice and also because it meant I wouldnt have to play againt the strongest goalie in the game. It worked out well for the most part and after I figured out the controls most games were a big blowout. Even the semi-finals game ended in 18-5 in my favor.

The finals were a lot tighter though. Entered the third period with a tie score of 10-10. Luckily I was smart enough to hold back my strongest players in the second period and reserve their energy for the last one. Worked out well and ended in a 13-11 victory!

My big gripe about the game was that the passing was horrible. It was so lousy that I didnt use it, period. Once a player got the puck he was a one man team.
