Of these, Baseball is definitely the one that holds a place in my heart.

A friend and I rented 10-Yard Fight one time circa 1989. I recall being bewildered from not knowing the rules to football at the time. After experiencing its mechanics, my friend pronounced, "This game is more like 10-Yard Fart." A review that resonates across the decades. He later picked up Tecmo Bowl, a game that we both knew was too good to compare to any smelly bodily function, even with the word "bowl" just sitting there.

My childhood was such that I knew baseball pretty well by age 5 (learned from playing NES Baseball with dad) but didn't know much about football until a few years later (learned from playing Tecmo Bowl with that friend).

Clu Clu Land, on the other hand, is a game that after renting I suspected must be good but I just didn't "get it." As you said, I wanted to love it, and all these years later, maybe I still do want to. But I don't.

Oh man, I'm loving this so far. I was a Genesis kid in the early 90's, so a lot of the NES/SNES stuff I missed. Of course I had both.
