The Evolution of Video Games

This video takes a series of video game genres and traces them from their origins to the latest incarnations. Totally great.

And boy, do I miss "Jordan vs. Bird." Best sports game of all time? Maybe.

Jordan vs Bird was great, but my vote for greatest sports game is Tecmo Bowl.

Oh yeah, the invisible tank level was awesome! My friends and I spent a ton of time playing Combat the summer between 5th and 6th grade (when we weren't breaking things with BB guns).

Jordan vs. Bird was great. But my favorite sports game of all time was Baseball stars. Need a better lineup, go out an pay 'em. That's the major league way. If he beats you with a good closer, get a better starter. If he beats you with a speedy leadoff hitter, go out and get a roided up slugger. And if he sweeps you in five games, well you're gonna have to bid an obscene amount of money to get a Japanese all-star, cause that's the major league way.

You're forgetting Baseball Stars's other crucial life lesson: Women cry when you bean them. But that's ok -- defeating the women by an embarrassing margin is the fastest way to rack up cash quick.
