Funny and candid auction of the three TV Sports titles. I almost want to bid, even though I don't really want it.

Basketball is my favorite. Look at the expression on the guy's face. I ought to make that my new avatar.

Post by: ceti alpha on January 30, 2008, 08:24:44 AM: Haha. That's hilarious. Very honest. But instead of the covers having the various athletes busting through the TV, the covers should be pissed off customers smashing their TV out of sheer frustration at how terrible these games are.

IMHO, better than Lakers vs. Celtics. I spent many many hours playing that game in my youth. I just loved playing with the Wizards against the evil Outlaws! Who can forget Etherton draining 3's, Difalco attacking the basket, and Allnite Long crashing the boards...

The other TV Sports titles did not fare so well. Football was no fun at all. Hockey was a decent game, but was much inferior to EA Sports NHL.
