Super League	Sega	1989	It's batter-up and time for Tommy Lasorda's version of Pro-Ball. Whether you're infield or outfield, at the plate or on the mound, stealing bases or catching fly-balls, the competition is hot and you're even hotter now that you're playing with a big leaguer like Lasorda. And you've got control. Curve balls, fastballs or sliders are some of the wind-ups you'll pitch to outwit your batter. But be prepared when he connects, you'll have to think fast to make your players perform like a well-oiled machine. Are you up for a single, double, or even triple play? It all depends on how you throw the ball. But don't worry, you'll get your chance at bat. This is a race for the Pennant, so you better hope Tommy's on your side. Now take your pick, choose your line-up and let's play ball!*The first baseball game for the Megadrive/Genesis. Graphically maybe the best baseball game at the time of release, although it can't be considered an actual beauty. Gameplay is similar to the many 8bit baseball games. It lacks outstanding features. At least it has a basic league mode and you get (very long) passwords after each game, but otherwise everything is like in many other baseball games. And you had to have quick reflexes. The game was not very forgiving and you couldn't expect to beat the computer opponent in the first few matches. The sound features some speech here and there, like "OUT" or "STRIKE" for example, which surely was nice back in 1989.* [73]* [63]* [52]*** [37]
Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf	Sega	1989	[64]* [63]* [52]* [37]* [27]*Tee off! It's time to play in one of the greatest golf competitions ever: The Arnold Palmer Tournament. And he's not going to make it easy. With only 16 players allowed to compete, you'll have to prove yourself to quality. You may be playing on lush country courses, but there's plenty of obstacles, from water hazards to sand traps to the ever present rough. So, pick your club carefully. Check the weather vane for the wind. Settle your feet and angle yourself exactly. Then go for the pin! Whether you're playing a course in the U.S., Japan or Great Britain, you'll need all your skill. Study the hole. Is this an impossible dog leg; will you need to hook or slice down the fairway; how deep are you in the rough? Use the practice mode to prepare yourself. Whether it's the precision of a par three, or the power of a long drive, you'll have to "charge". Al least you can rely on your professional caddy as your right hand man. And remember, Arnie's never far away.*The first golf game on the Mega Drive and it's a nice one. No real innovative gameplay elements, but the good playability and a motivating tournament mode in combination with the best looking graphics of a console golf game at the time of release make this a game you might want to play more often than just one round.
James 'Buster' Douglas Knockout Boxing	Taito;Sega (Taito)	1990	[33]*The only man to ever knock Mike Tyson out brings all his power and skill to the Sega Genesis in the form of JAMES "BUSTER" DOUGLAS KNOCKOUT BOXING. You can select from any of five fighters, including "Buster" Douglas himself, each with unique characteristics and attributes. Once you're in the ring, you'll go toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful and skilled pugilists in the business as you fight for your shot at the Heavyweight Championship Belt. Stick and move as you utilize your quickness to land jab after jab, then go for the glory with a devastating hook that your opponent will never see coming. If you're good enough to win the Title, see if you can defend it against a stable of fighters hungry for their chance to step into the ring with the Heavyweight Champion of the World.* [22]* [63]* [37]* [27]*This is basically a port of Taito's arcade boxing game Final Blow with the addition of "Buster" Douglas as one of the playable fighters.

Chavez II	American Softworks (Sculptured Software)	1993	A decent enough boxing sim focusing on legends of the middleweight class - all but a few of who will be unfamiliar to most people. Good graphics and gameplay, adequate sound. Superior to Foreman for Real in one or two aspects, but not all.***Chavez II is a modified version of Boxing Legends of the Ring that was "Available Exclusively in Mexico". However, its an ordinary North American cartridge that will play in all North American Genesis units. It features more than just different characters, locations, and graphics. It has different modes of play. It is also bilingual, having all text in both Spanish(Mexican) and English. However, voice-overs are apparently Spanish only. Despite being an "Exclusive", it is not uncommon to find it the USA. One wonders why the marketing geniuses tried to limit their market. Cesar Chavez is a legend any country. The USA has a significant population that speaks Spanish as a first language, and even more that speak it as a second. 'Cesar' Chavez was a popular boxer for many, regardless of language (still is for some). 107 wins, 6 losses, 2 draws, 89 knockouts, 6 world titles in 3 weight divisions, and a 13 year, 87 win, winning streak. That's more legendary than some of the better known legends. [b]Via Google Translate with minimal correction[/b] [b]a través de Google Translate con corrección mínima[/b] Chavez II es una versión modificada del "Boxing Legends of the Ring" que fue "estará disponible exclusivamente en México".

Sin embargo, la voz en off al parecer sólo en español. A pesar de ser un "exclusivo", no es raro encontrar los Estados Unidos. Uno se pregunta por qué los genios de marketing tratado de limitar su mercado. César Chávez es una leyenda de cualquier país. Los Estados Unidos tienen una importante población que habla español como primera lengua, y aún más que lo hablan como segunda. Chávez 'César' fue un boxeador popular para muchos, sin importar el idioma (todavía es para algunos). 107 victorias, 6 derrotas, 2 empates y 89 nocauts, seis títulos mundiales en tres divisiones de peso, y una de 13 años, el 87 por ganar, racha ganadora. Eso es más legendario que algunas de las leyendas más conocidas.
