And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Triple Play 2001
- Release Data: EA Sports/THQ, 2000
- Genre: Sports » Team » Baseball » Sim
Featuring all 30 teams and stadiums, THQ’s Triple Play 2001 attempts to bring arcade-style hardball to your Game Boy Color.
The game only has two modes: single game and home run derby.
In the end, it’s a nice game, but a lot of improvements could be made.
#4. All-Star Baseball 2000
- Release Data: Realtime Associates/Acclaim, 1999
- Genre: Sports » Team » Baseball » Sim
Despite some flaws, the game plays well. You’re given many modes of play ranging from an exhibition to a full season to the coveted Home Run Derby.
All-Star Baseball 2000‘s interface in the game is very informative displaying the pitcher’s ERA, the score, inning, and batting stats for the batter.
#3. All-Star Baseball 2001
- Release Data: KnowWonder/Acclaim, 2000
- Genre: Sports » Team » Baseball » Sim
The game honestly hasn’t changed enough to justify a new brand.
No link cable support, no changes to the gameplay, no new options. However, it’s still one of the better baseball games on the Game Boy Color.
But compared to previous year, All-Star Baseball 2001 has much better hitting control.
#2. NHL 2000
- Release Data: Tiertex Design Studios/THQ, 2000
- Genre: Sports » Team » Ice Hockey » Sim
Although you have to give THQ credit for trying, NHL 2000 just doesn’t work that great on the Game Boy Color.
Truthfully, the developers should have spent more time tweaking and play testing it.
All in all, the GBC version is a nice try, but the odd quirks on the AI make the game a bit of a pain to play.
#1. Madden NFL 2000
- Release Data: Tiertex Design Studios/THQ, 1999
- Genre: Sports » Team » Football » Sim
One thing about this game is, the game briefly pauses whenever the ball is thrown so that you can easily find the ball on the screen and respond accordingly.
Fans of portable gaming who generally dislike sports titles should give Madden 2000 a try: The control is dead-on, the graphics are clean, and there are enough options to keep you playing.
