By today's standards maybe, but these games were all revolutionary back in 1985-86 when they were released. Just take a look at what a sports game looked like on Atari 2600.

I was there when these games launched, and played most of them close to launch, they were bad then too.

While the games may have been better than Atari 2600 (before my time), they were still crap compared to sports titles already on the C64 and other contemporary platforms from the early to mid 80s. They were also extremely bad compared to other contemporary NES games like Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Dragon Warrior, and Castlevania.

Wrong. Name me only one non-arcade volleyball, baseball or soccer game pre-1985 with better graphics and gameplay, you won't find any.

Plus comparing a sports game with platformers, action-adventure and RPG is pointless.
