8. Athlete Kings
Athlete Kings might not be hugely different to your standard Decathlete style athletic games, but the difference is that is boasted a cast of amusing characters and the game play was actually really solid. The range of sports covered your standard sprinting, long-jump, javelin etc all of which would could make for some amusing 4-player action on today's consoles. The game put a heavy emphasis on being fun, it wasn't an overly serious simulation like the official Olympics game but then wasn't as daft as the ridiculous Mario and Sonic games (Sonic should just win everything athletic, how is that remotely up for debate?). The game is looking more than a little clunky these days so a do over and maybe even the inclusion of some motion controls could give Athlete Kings a shot in the arm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM2LLK7GpGY
