World Class Rugby on SNES is one of those old-school sports games that somehow nails the chaos of rugby without overcomplicating things. The second you boot it up, you're thrown into a match—no fuss, no endless menus. The pixelated players move with this weirdly satisfying weight to them, especially when you pull off a last-second sidestep or a crunching tackle.

It’s not the prettiest rugby sim out there, but there’s something about the way the scrums actually feel like a messy, desperate shove-fest that makes it weirdly authentic. And yeah, the controls take a minute to click—good luck figuring out the lineouts at first—but once they do, you’ll be grunting at the screen like it’s the Rugby World Cup finals. Just don’t expect modern frills; this is pure 16-bit meat-and-potatoes rugby.

Still holds up if you’re into retro sports games, especially with a friend yelling at you from the couch.
