EA Sports Double Header is one of those old-school Genesis sports compilations that somehow feels both janky and charming at the same time. You get baseball and hockey bundled together—no frills, just pixelated athletes moving in that weirdly stiff way 16-bit sports games loved. The baseball’s got this satisfying crack when you nail a homer, and hockey... well, let’s just say the physics are more "arcade shove" than NHL realism.

Controls are simple enough that you’ll figure them out in seconds, but mastering the timing takes a few innings (or periods). The AI isn’t exactly smart—expect some questionable goalie decisions—but that just adds to the chaotic fun. It’s the kind of game you fire up when you want that hit of early '90s nostalgia without overthinking it. Just don’t expect deep career modes or online play—this is pure, clunky couch competition.
