1987

[GDavis]

Congrats Gantry on 1987 posts.  1987 the year of RBI!

[Gantry]

Now I'll dip into RBI2 territory...

[doveRBI]

Never ever go there.  RBI II and III are total shitholes.

[japetus462]

I cant stand RBI II and III.

[Gantry]

In terms of post count, not game quality.  RBI 2 came in later years...

[Flood]

Speaking of RBI 2...I bought it off Ebay so I'd have something besides RBI to play over Christmas break at the in-laws. FUCKING HATED IT.  Dove is right...it was never made.  Never happened.

None of the players give the peace sign in RBI II.

[doveRBI]

Because they are ungrateful, malnourished bitches.

[jaylums]

Ah man, that game was so stupid.

My pick for the worst NES game, aside from the aforementioned, would be Wayne Gretzky's Hockey.  Tons of hype, a load of crap.

[BDawk]

I had that game, too.  The players were so small.
I just can't see how a game maker can finish making that game and say. "Ok, I think we have a winner here"

[jaylums]

The players were dots on the screen.  I remember renting it and returning it an hour later.

You're making me want to find this game just so I can see how bad it was.  Nintendo Ice Hockey was the best, we tried Blades of Steel for a little while and it was decent, but we would always go back to Ice Hockey

[jaylums]

I liked Ice Hockey, I thought Blades of Steel rocked!  EA's line of hockey games are hockey's equivalent to RBI in terms of gameplay to me.

[ultimate7]

In college played lots of EA NHL (93,94,95) for Sega Genesis

[Baines]

Ice Hockey was kick ass!!! If you had only the fat players and some real teams it would be the hockey equivalent of RBI.

[fknmclane]

Good point from HBaines on Ice Hockey.

Blades of Steel rocked just because of the one on one fighting and that stupid spaceship game between periods.

Great year for movies too. Princess Bride, Full Metal Jacket, Predator, Evil Dead II, Spaceballs

[Gantry]

4-man tag team RBI 1986 vs RBI 1987, who would win?

1986 - Boston, Cali, Houston, Mets
1987 - Detroit, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Fran

Tough matchups there, I give 1986 the slight edge...

[Nails]

I'd say '86.  Gooden, Clemens, Ryan, Scott on one pitching staff, and combining Boston and Cali's lineups would be unstoppable.

[Gantry]

Combined 1986 Team

1 - Burks
2 - Strawberry
3 - Rice
4 - Jackson
5 - Baylor
6 - Ruppert
7 - Armas
8 - Joyner

B1 - DeCinces
B2 - D. Evans
B3 - G. Carter
B4 - Wilfong/Hernandez

Gotta have a lefty on the bench, that's a quality lineup
