This site is amazing. The take on Al Pedrique alone deserves some sort of award.
Boston.com (Boston Globe) is having an all-time greatest sports video game tourney and RBI made it through the first round with landslide victory against Fight Night. Now our rotund little white friends are up against NHL 94 and we face an uphill battle.

On a side note, I'd like to see more love for Howard Johnson and some mention on the complete and udder suckiness of Willie Randolph.
Keep up the great work!
What a tough matchup.
NHL is a great game. Of course I voted for RBI. We need Dee-nee to move this vote in favor of RBI
Ogie, love the name and avatar.

We have over 100 fairly active members. We should at least be able to push the votes to 50/50 by the end of today. When I voted, RBI only had 35% of the votes, but there was only 296 votes cast.
OK, I'll try something...
Just voted, there are over 3000 in so far. It's an uphill battle but lets do our best...
PS - I was able to vote in IE and Mozilla. Cheat if you must...
Cheated
You notice all the references to college and drinking games? I have a feeling the author picked up some info from dee-nee
3222 votes are in so far:
NHL '94 64.5%
RBI Baseball 35.5%
ouch! we need the next 900 or so votes just to stay even
I voted in both mozilla and IE (I am afraid to open IE anymore but I did itfor RBI).
I will now post a link to a baseball site that gets hundreds of thousands of hits a day hoping to boost RBI's totals.

Hopefully this helps!
They probably all like NHL
Good work erhajj, I think I'll make a quick front page update...
That puhl isn't very well made. How did rc pro am sneak in there, and what's a panatly? I also liked how he said that RBI was a lifestyle, I can't imagine where he picked up a phrase like that.

You're kidding. That's good web design right there.
Who wants to combine anon proxies with cookie-borking and get a few thousand votes for RBI? Ok, I don't do that sort of thing, but someone should.

Is this english?
I think it might leave a cookie if you vote or something. Not only can you use IE & Mozilla, but you can vote with IE/Mozilla from machines behind the same NAT router...
Front page update is made, I'm hoping we can make more of a dent...
cookie-borking is my new favorite phrase.
I voted rbi, but its done for. I understand how NHL is gonna win, its a pretty solid game, but no RBI. Anyways, I see a Punch Out-Tecmo Bowl championship.
I am guessing if this Boston.com site had a more national appeal, RBI would be winning hands-down. I am guessing it is a Boston-based site, so this could be tough. How can those Bostoners not support RBI when the Sox have such a prominent place in the RBI-world? Is this their way at seeking retribution against Bucknr?
go tecmo... go RBI
Another reason why Boston is shit.

Tecmo Bowl

Yee-Haw, Tecmo is starting to increase da lead. the choke hold is locked in. Suck a dong john madden o chong.
TBT is very pleased. Im thinking Tecmo can whoop NHL in the semis. Id like to see a commanding slaughter there. I'm certain Tyson makes it from the other side.
Greatest sports games of all-time. Super Tecmo Bowl and R.B.I. Thats all i have to say.
Quote from: MR RBI on 08/24/05, 09:20:54 PM
Super Tecmo Bowl
that game does not exsist. however some crappy blasphemous version called tecmo super bowl does.
two things:
1. it's a crying shame r.b.i. is down in the poll, i voted eight or nine times, but with almost eight grand votes, it's like ripping a page out of war & peace.
2. tecmo super bowl is like caddyshack II: over the top and unneeded.
like r.b.i. it only had teams that made the playoffs, and though simple, was all you needed. with a bajillion plays, defense was more troublesome than wanted, and although the fumble thing was a nice touch, why ruin an original?
Nomaaa i heart you...the original Tecmo Bowl does rule!
BTW Tecmo Bowl is getting slaughtered by NHL 94....FUCK!
Now Tecmo Bowl is getting killed by NHL 94, what gives? Do people really like the game this much or is there a voting conspiracy going on? Tecmo just beat the entire Madden for chrissakes....

no doubt there is a conspiracy in the werks here. canadians are behind it.....angry canadians who didnt get to watch hockey for a year....thats who. PIG FUCKERS! anyways, after beating the corporate giant know as Madden football, i figured the end was near for the rest of the gaming world. i wuz wrong.
Just read all of the message boards, where there was a "TBT" fellow chiming in about Tecmo and RBI...
Isn't NHL 94 the one where you could score just about everytime by coming from behind the net, then across the middle of the goal and shooting?

I think that NHL 94's resident forum computer whiz simply had the gall to rig it.

Yeah, that was the year that Pierre Turgeon scored 164 games in a season for the Islanders.
NHL is a great game. And it's in Swingers...so every douche will vote for it

Huh?
As much as I hate seeing RBI go down in flames, NHL94 is the second best video game ever. My best score against the CPU was 78-0 with 20 minute periods.
95 is btter than 94
hockey sucks except for when bonny talks about it.

Hey jackass, if I was talking to you, I wouldn't refer to you as "Jose Phady." I'd say "you."
So, anyway Jose Phady, like I was saying, I went to the mall the other day and OMG, you should have seen the freaks that were there. I said to myself, "Self, you have got to call your good friend Jose Phady and tell him about all of these freaks!" It was a riot, Jose Phady. Oh how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl year after year.

That's probably what makes us such good friends, Jose Ady. Hey, I called you again, Jose Ady--wanted to see if you wanted to get a taco. I'm hungry--let's go get a taco.

It has to be. They think just cause they won the SuperBowl and World Series that it's ok to rig a pole for greatest sports game. I think the world Series and SuperBowl was rigged by the way.

I don't think its rigged at all. NHL94 was a kick ass game. It also has a big advantage because of the year it was released. Rbi, Tecmo Bowl, Tyson, etc have a handicap because most of the kids of today have never been exposed to them (or if they have, they don't appreciate them becasue the graphics aren't any good). And the newer games like Tiger Woods and the new Madden are deemed too "new school" for us classic gamers. NHL94 was appreciated by the classic gamers and was one of the first great sports games to usher in the new EA Sports dominated era. It may not be the greatest sports game, but its more universally beloved because of the pure exposure to it...and don't forget the Hockey series also gained some street cred from its appearances in Swingers and Chasing Amy.
thanks shooty for the kind werds, but it still dont make me happy or feel batter.
Seriously, how the fuck did NHL win the whole thing? Fucking ingrates...

I can understand NHL 94 to a degree, but Mike Tyson's punchout in the final over RBI really rankles my heine.
that is bullshit, ill admit i just got my first fix of rbi in years and would love to get the controller to play online and get smoked by you guys. Also, I enjoyed NHL 93 much, much more then 94, the only real upgrade was season mode. game play in 93....fucking greatness. ill roll anyone with vancouver

Weren't one-timers added for '94? I would consider that a huge upgrade.
not sure, but once you master scoring in that game it becomes very easy, just one simple deek and the goalie is toast
it's too bad ultimate couldn't stuff this ballot like at nintendo.com.
