Sports games emulate traditional physical sports such as football, American football, Australian football, baseball, boxing, basketball, cricket, golf, ice hockey, tennis, bowling, rugby, skateboard and wrestling, among others. Some titles emphasise the authentic experience of sport, faithfully recreating rules and mechanics of play, while others focus on strategy, leaving the player the management of teams and tactics. There are also games that offer a lighter or even satirical view of sport, making it accessible and fun even for those who are not a fan of real discipline.
The genre of sports video games has deep roots in gaming history: from the dawn of video games, titles like Pong (1972) introduced a simplified version of sports in the digital world. Since then, this genre has become increasingly realistic and complex, with advanced physical engines, realistic graphics and increasingly sophisticated game modes. Today, sports games are among the most popular and competitive in the playful video scene, with community players participating in high-level tournaments and competitions.
