ALL Sega Genesis Basketball Games Ranked (Retro Sunday)

[@nostalgiacrt7045]

Lakers vs Celtics WAS one of the first if not the first licensed basketball game with actual NBA players in a video game, for those us that as kids moving from the NES to the Genesis and loved basketball, this title was a pioneer in basketball home video games. It seems slow today, but I can remember me and my neighborhood friend playing that game to death always trying to get to those spots on the floor where each player could do their signature moves. We were like 16bit rocks!

I played double dribble on Nintendo!!!

[@nikolasmilbury7455]

My favorite was NBA live 96

[@RetroSunday]

NBA Live series was great. Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

[@vinceniederman]

@@RetroSundayI Have NBA Live 96 For My Mini Sega and I Enjoy It!

[@sleep_sounds]

We used to make custom players for all the friends, put them all on a team, set it comp vs comp and route for our guys.

In Barkley Shut Up and Jam, hearing Sir Charles say "gimme the damn ball" was mind-blowing as a kid! I didn't realize Marv Albert was the announcer on the NBA Action games! There's a player on UMass in Coach K basketball that could shoot 3s from anywhere on the court. My cousin and I would have to ban that team from being selected! Your final rankings are spot on. Great video!

Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

[@bigcozz89]

Lou Roe was the player from UMass who could shoot those threes

NBA Showdown '94, i once broke the backboard with Tim Perry of the 76ers; NBA Live 96 had a cool glitch where you could have more than the allowed create-a-player limit by typing in names already premade in the cartridge database (legends and 1995-96 season rookies) and not altering anything.

[@RetroSunday]

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try these sometime! :D

[@alexbork4250]

You missed Tiny Toon Adventures ACME All-stars. That was the best basketball game actually

[@joebauers3746]

Also missing Lakers vs Celtics, and Bulls vs Lakers (and the NBA playoffs series)

[@RetroSunday]

Nah it's there, check at 19:15

[@RetroSunday]

Nah, also both in there. Watch from 13:25@@joebauers3746

[@alexbork4250]

@@RetroSunday ahah, really, I was kidding, but gj, I didn't see it on the list

[@Double-D-MgoBLUE]

Retro Sunday. Great review & ranking video. As usual. So glad to see NBA Hangtime get the 's rank. Most give the nod to JAM T. E. I guess they've never tried Hangtime. Spin move dribble makes all the difference. Can't wait for your football ranks. Tecmo SB III final edition & SB II special edition are both way better than original tecmo super bowl. Great vids!!

[@RetroSunday]

Thanks again, working on a huge Genesis Easter Egg video then onto Football Games Ranked :D

[@ninobrownpq]

Thanx for all the memories

[@RetroSunday]

Thanks for watching! :D

[@jacobmahoney1018]

You should do one with all the best Disney games or marvel

[@jacobmahoney1018]

Although the best marvel is cap& the avengers

[@RetroSunday]

I was thinking of either that or movie-based games sometime soon

[@jacobmahoney1018]

@@RetroSunday that would be sweet, why not do both?.. I feel like judge dredd is top tier game based off a movie.

[@RetroSunday]

@@jacobmahoney1018 ya for sure depending on how many games there are i might have to split it up. I have to play through judge Dredd I've only played the first couple stages

[@chrisspearline767]

NBA Live 98 the best

[@madspunky]

I'm digging your ranking of Genesis sports titles! Any chance you'll rank the SNES sports games?

[@RetroSunday]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoy! :D Umm, I'm not sure. I've only ever recorded games I actually own and I no longer have a single SNES game in my collection currently after diminishing a lot of my collection to complete my Genesis collection. Who knows tho, maybe I'll do some SNES stuff sometime soon, I'll think about it! :D

[@agentchris1482]

I know it’s an old video but I’d have to say pat riley basketball is more like double dribble than the double dribble game.

[@RetroSunday]

lol this is true, thanks for watching and commenting! :D

[@agentchris1482]

@@RetroSunday No problem!

[@michaelmullner7536]

You missed Dick Vitale’s College Basketball

[@RetroSunday]

lol I know, I added it to the video description. I pumped these sports review videos out a lil quick, also forgot a hockey game in the Hockey Games episode but also in video description. Thanks for the comment tho! :D

[@Double-D-MgoBLUE]

You missed NBA Action `94. But also, you really didn't miss out on anything worth mentioning. Probably would've given a D rank

[@METALFACEDOOM441]

You overlooked it, it's in the video.

[@RetroSunday]

idn what happened to Double Dribble audio n video but its ok it still sucks ass :D

[@NoSpamForYou]

Missing a chapter mark at about 8:34 for USA Basketball, it is combined with Barkley Shut up and Jam.

[@RetroSunday]

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!
