Genco Two-player Basketball (1954)

Basketball games may well have become incredibly lifelike on next-gen machines, but the number-crunching Cell processor in PS3 can't quite boast the realism of good old gravity and a spherical object. It's not quite got the variety of a modern game... in fact it's just got two players shooting at a worryingly high number of hoops. Without ESPN, maybe they couldn't access the source material too easily...

Above: Forget passing or switching out lines. You can aim and shoot, OK?
