RGI was a prolific
stat-based sports game creator during the late 60's and early 70's.
Their series
included Vince Lombardi Football, Fran Tarkenton
Football, Oscar Robertson Basketball Strategy / Fast Break,
Gil Hodges Pennant Fever Baseball, Jackie Stewart Racing and Rocky
Graziano Boxing. During the early-mid 70's, when the sports
leagues began
demanding higher compensation, RGI dropped out of the statistical
replay genre and converted their catalog to basic sports
strategy games. They did however continue to pay athletes to endorse
their games and these games were released under the "PLAY THE PROS
MONIKER". Starting in the mid-late 70's at least 2 other companies
issued these games under different names. For the sake of completion I
have included them here, but be aware that these later games are not
replay games.
