This is THE baseball game. It's loved by many creators, gamers and sports fans alike. 20 years later, this is still the best baseball game combination of tight yet fun arcade gameplay, simulation difficulty (if you want), and an Owner mode for us who love getting lost in numbers. All released after a broken curse for Boston, which the developers leaned into. It also released the year my team (Astros) made it to the WS, with a pretty stacked team (especially the bullpen). So for me, it's a real piece of history and a reminder of my love for baseball blossoming at 15 years old. I remember getting my Astros to the WS and NOT getting swept. lol
On PC, this game is dying. The physical discs are becoming rarer, finding "totally legal" copies of the game is very difficult because of the lack of interest (Owner mode is broken on most cracks). Sure, there will always be the PS2 version (how I originally played, and play now through emulation with upscale and widescreen patching) but nothing compares to PC versions of games and how much longer they live, and can be revitalized. There's a whole modding community (MVPmods) that has slowly died off because of the lack of access to this game on PC (in my opinion).
I feel like a release of this game on PC compatible with modern systems renamed to something like MVP Legacy Baseball or something would be amazing! Keep all the old teams, revamp the randomization of the "nobodies" so long Owner mode playthroughs are still interesting, let us have a full ballpark from the beginning in Owner mode if we want (the Astros play on a high school field that makes enough money to pay 60+ million to players... lol ok) and this would be hands down the best baseball game. That being said, all the above could easily be done through modding if the game was purchasable DRM free! Modding could flourish thanks to easy access to the game!
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach VolleyballDead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is a beach volleyball game. The game is a departure from the rest of the Dead or Alive series which otherwise consists of fighting games. It also marks the first game in the series to have a Mature rating due to the very revealing swimsuits featured in the game and the suggestive poses the women present themselves in (which can be viewed and zoomed in on from almost any angle, as controlled by the player).Action Comedy
Wild Arms 3The first two games in the Wild Arms series garnered attention and acclaim as they brought classic console role-playing to the original PlayStation. Though crafted in the same story-telling spirit, Wild Arms 3 (titled Wild Arms Advanced 3rd in Japan) boasts major technological improvements and a number of new gameplay elements. Featuring "stroke-shaded" animation-style graphics, a "Wild West" setting, and a completely 3D game engine (not just for battles, as in the previous games), Wild Arms 3 is designed to make good use of the power of the PlayStation 2.
Wild Arms 3 features four main characters and takes the time to let players become acquainted with each of them. The "drifters" Virginia, Gallows, Jet, and Clive are four very different adventurers whose paths intertwine toward a shared destiny. Though each has his or her own personal motivations, all four seek an explanation for why the once-verdant lands of Filgaia have become dry and barren. Differences must be overcome and the characters must act in harmony if they are to truly understand the ancient mystical forces at work.
As the drifters move through the desolate land of Filgaia, they are challenged with a number of mysteries to solve and barriers to overcome. The different special abilities of each character must be used to solve different parts of the game's complex puzzles. A technique dubbed "expressive communication" is designed to allow players to quickly gauge the moods and emotions of the onscreen characters. Monsters, villains, and other horrible creatures stand between the drifters and their destinations as well. The Wild Arms 3 turn-based battle system is designed to offer players an intricate level of control, allowing tactics that make wise use of the various powers and weaponry of the drifters while presenting combat with cinematic flair.
Wild Arms 3 delivers everything RPG gamers expect: an in-depth storyline, puzzling dungeons & a unique battling system. Journey along with Virginia, Jet, Clive and Gallows and discover the mystery behind the Prophets to revive the memories of Filgaia. Explore dungeons to unlock secret pathways and find mythical treasures. Gun Blazing shoot-outs deliver intense cinematic battles. Wild Arms 3 embodies tried-and-true elements of a role-playing classic.Fantasy

Neo Turf MastersNeo Turf Masters is a golf video game by Nazca for the Neo Geo, released in 1996. This is also one of the first two titles by Nazca, the other being the popular Metal Slug before & between being acquired by SNK.
The game is a fast paced, arcade-style golf game. Players choose from two game modes, stroke play for one or two players, and match play for two players only.
Competing on one of four fictional golf courses located in the United States, Japan, Australia and Germany, players choose from one of six players with different attributes:
"Young Hero" (George Spinner, USA)
"Technician" (Thomas Stewart, United Kingdom)
"Veteran" (Frank Adams, Australia)
"Shot Maker" (Robert Landolt, Germany)
"Power Golfer" (Fernando Almeida, Brazil)
"Putt Master" (Toyoshige Takeno, Japan)
Unlike many golf games of the era which used a two-click swing system to determine the hook or slice of the ball, Neo Turf Masters uses a single click for the power of the shot, and a second for the height of the shot; hook and slice are selected with buttons B and C before making the shot. This makes the game much easier to pick up and play well than its contemporaries, but it compensates for this reduced difficulty with fiendish (if somewhat unrealistic) course layouts and highly variable wind.Action
