This month isDestructoid Boot Camp, soSOUND OFF, YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOTS! DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! Um, sorry about that. Actually, Destructoid Boot Camp is a celebration of all thingssports games. But I have to be honest, I don’t play sports games … at all. No, wait, I take that back. As I have mentioned onRetroforceGO!, if Peach is in a tennis skirt or your base/soccer/tennis ball turns into a massive fireball at some point Iwillplay it. But any modern traditional sports game I pretty much have no interest in.
Lucky for this quiz, though, there are atonof retro sports games that I not only played, but loved! Even if you hate sports games, you might be surprised by how many of these you actually remember. Why not take the quiz to find out?! How else are you going to impress those cheerleaders?
Honestly, I have nothing sports-related in my magical bag of goodies, so this week’s prize is just a random hodgepodge of some retro treats (including a Tetris puzzle cube thing and some Nintendo trinkets). Just leave your answers in the comments and whoever gets the most right will triumph! In the event of a tie, just make sure you answer the tie-breaker question (whoever gets the closest wins). Check mycommunity blogtomorrow (12/13) for all the correct answers and to see who emerges as the champion.
Put on your cup (this one ishard) and … good luck!
