KSL Sports Staff Picks Best Sports Video Games Of All-Time
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Playing sports and attending sporting events has the power to create memories and bring people together.
Over the last few decades, sports-related video games have been able to do the same for many fans of basketball, football, baseball, and more.

I’ve always enjoyed playing the Madden franchise but the best sports video game of all time is NBA Jam. It was the first game that featured real NBA players. The game made the “Boomshakalaka” part of pop culture. Who didn’t love the crazy dunks and having the ball set on fire after you were “heating up”? Who didn’t love it when a player went flying when you steal the ball from him?

Watch Stephen Spielberg's unreleased alien video game, codenamed LMNO, in motion - Polygon
In the early 2000s, Spielberg signed on with Electronic Arts to make several video games, only one of which was actually released. Boom Blox went on to become one of the more critically-acclaimed puzzle games for the Nintendo Wii. The other game was ... well, it wasn't Boom Blox , that's for sure.
Codenamed LMNO , it charged players with taking an alien named Eve on a road trip all the way across the United States. It was essentially a game-long escort mission with a non-verbal superhero as your sidekick. Bullet points included photorealistic graphics (for the time), hand-to-hand combat in the vein of the Jason Bourne franchise, and first-person parkour.

Ports to the Commodore 64, the Amstrad and the ZX Spectrum would soon follow, before the game debuted on the NES in 1988 (and sometime after that, the Game Boy Color in 1999).
