10-Yard Fight

First off, I wasn't aware that we started with 10-Yard Fight because it's first in alphabetical order. I'm a little alarmed that we not only seem to have a 200+ collection of NES cartridges, but that we seem to have them arranged so that it's easy to navigate in alphabetical order.

But anyway, 10-Yard Fight is one of the greatest video games of all time. It's primary greatness lies in the fact that if you obsessively repeat the same two offensive plays over and over again, it's virtually impossible to not get a touchdown. This is a tremendous benefit for those of us playing against people who have spent far too much time playing other NES football games, who keep trying to do something interesting, like, say, throw more than a 5 yard pass.

Also, it really keeps you guessing - mostly, as to whether or not you're actually running. It uses cutting edge field moving technology so that your guy runs in place while the field, occasionally, lunges by. Except, every so often, your guy will suddenly dive forward onscreen for about five yards. Just for extra interest.
