One of the most popular NES sports games is also one of the strangest - the single-player mode involves you taking six scrappy Americans on a quest for a world championship. Team USA must first defeat a rival American squad before traveling to England, India, Iceland(??), Kenya, Japan, and the USSR, all while trying to avoid being eliminated and turned into tiny angels that float offscreen. Oh, and if you beat the USSR, you then have to beat super-powered doppelgangers of Team USA in a match that for some reason also takes place on the Red Square. What sport is this weird game about, anyway?
