Kaelin Ellis Interview: Talking Music

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Producer Kaelin Ellis wasn’t a household name, but that changed in a flurry. People recognized the Orlando artist’s work with rappers like Waldo, producers like Sango, and on K-pop song “Jekyll” from supergroup Exo. But he mostly made his way behind the scenes. That was his plan when he had to start quarantining due to the COVID-19 pandemic, too. “I started creating a lot of beats,” he told me over the phone earlier this month. “I decided to start trusting my intuition more, the crazy ideas I have in my mind, to try them out to see if I could make something cool.” He made and uploaded a beat video of a track called “White Walls”, and the usual happened: His most faithful followers straight-up started tagging other rappers, suggesting they rap over Ellis’ beat. What happened next, Ellis talks like he still can’t believe happened.

“A lot of my followers will tag people--really high-caliber names--but not a lot of them will respond. A lot of people have been trying to get Smino, Masego, Danny Brown,” Ellis said. The first one to actually “take the bait?” None other than Lupe Fiasco. Ellis woke up from a nap to discover that Lupe had freestyled over “White Walls” after being tagged on a post by a follower. It went viral, Ellis direct messaged Lupe to suggest they work together, Lupe accepted, Ellis sent him beats, and Lupe sent back enough for an EP, with Virgil Abloh narrating it. HOUSE was released on July 24th. Wait, what? If it sounds like it happened quickly, that’s because it did, faster than anyone could have ever imagined. And it’s a great release that effectively combines Ellis’ deliberate, warped keyboard instrumentals with Lupe and Abloh’s thoughtful musings on pressing issues: mass extinction, the shady ethics of the modeling industry, and most notably, the Black Lives Matter movement. (“SHOES” is especially poignant, as it features Abloh talking about designing the running shoes Ahmaud Arbery was wearing when he was murdered; “running is freedom,” he states simply.) The track that started it all turned into “LF95″, with an added outro of credits from Lupe Fiasco, the preview of, according to Ellis, more to come between the two of them.

Read my conversation with Ellis below, edited for length and clarity, as he talks about the history of his relationship with Lupe’s output, the inspiration behind his beats, where he sees himself in the music world, and some exciting upcoming collaborations.

Since I Left You: When was the first time you were aware of Lupe’s music?

Kaelin Ellis: Because I grew up in a Christian household, I didn’t listen to a lot of hip hop or pop radio or rock music. So my first time hearing Lupe was NBA 2K7. He had a song called “Catch Me I’m Ballin’”. I played that game every day for years just because of the soundtrack. I loved the beats and the sound that was integrated in the video game that created a whole experience to it. Then NBA Live 07 came out, and that’s when I heard “Kick Push”. At that point, I was just hooked on Lupe’s music, so I grew up as a kid listening to him.

SILY: Have you followed his output pretty closely ever since?

KE: Oh yeah. I’ve been following him since 2007, everything from Food & Liquor to DROGAS Wave. I’ve kind of been keen, especially learning about music business in general, a lot of what I’ve learned has been from Lupe Fiasco. I’ve used his career as a model for my own career. Seeing his consistency and trying to integrate that with what I do.

SILY: Was he aware of you before he was tagged in the post?

KE: Not at all. I’ll say this: I’m typically that one dude that people have heard but don’t put the name with the music because a lot of my music is instrumental. I come from a Soundcloud wave of producers when it first became getting big. He had no idea who I was. He thought I was just one of those guys making beat videos on Twitter and that I had a following. People started saying, “That’s your face on Lupe Fiasco’s page!” A buddy of mine reached out to me; he called me after I woke up from a nap, like, “Dude, have you seen Lupe Fiasco’s page?” I was like, “Naw.” He was like, “Dude, get off the phone and check his IG.” So I checked his IG and his Twitter, and he had uploaded a freestyle over my beat video on both pages. I was like, “Wow.”

SILY: That was “LF95″. Was the outro on the EP version of the track added on only after you realized you would make this EP together?

KE: Yeah. That track went a little viral at the time. That’s when I hit him up and said, “Yo, Lupe, we should work!” He followed me on Instagram and DM’d me and said, “Send me a pack of beats! I’d be interested in knowing what you had in mind.” So I sent him a full pack of beats. I sent him beat videos. I’m always creating. He ended up keeping “LF95″ and adding that additional verse at the end of it. After two weeks, he was like, “Yeah, I have [enough for] a whole EP!” I was like, “What?!?” I listened to it, and he literally took my tracks, split them up in sections, and had a whole arrangement for every record. I’d never seen anybody take one of my tracks and curate something out of it.

SILY: Were you surprised to hear Virgil Abloh’s voice on two of them?

KE: Yeah! I remember for “HOMME MADE” and “SHOES”, he sent me the full record. He sent it to me and I downloaded it and said, “I got Virgil Abloh narrating the whole thing.” I was like, “What?!?” He sent me all the tracks roughly scoped out. As I’m hearing “HOMME MADE” for the first time, I started playing chords behind it. When I grew up, at church, as people were talking, there’d always be somebody playing piano underneath it. What you’re hearing on “HOMME MADE” is me literally listening to [Abloh’s] voice for the first time and playing under it. I sent that to Lupe, and he was like, “Yup. I’m keeping it. Don’t change anything.”

SILY: It definitely sounds like gospel keyboards.

KE: Yeah. That’s the approach. It’s called “talking music.” If someone’s ever talking, there’s always a piano underneath at church supporting what someone’s saying.

SILY: When you sent him that pack of beats, were those beats you had already made, or did you make new ones for him?

KE: There were a couple of brand new ones. One of those, which is “DINOSAURS”, I made that literally in L.A. I was supposed to be doing a show, and I remember I had the concept for this piano riff. I played it, added drums and everything else. “SLEDOM” and “SHOES” are the only two older tracks. I actually made those in 2017. I had a whole thing where I used to create a lot of tracks--I’d go to my homie’s crib, GFL Paul, his house was the studio where I’d create all these weird creations. I created a lot of tracks at his place. I went back to the old 2017-2018 archives, pulled those beats out, and sent them to Lupe. He cut up “SHOES” to a fifth of the arrangement.

SILY: Did you have any idea what his verses were gonna be about?

KE: Not at all. I just remember when I first sent it to him, everything had this supportive jazz storyline behind it. I had a talk with him, and he mentioned his collaborations with Robert Glasper, who kind of comes through the same background as me with church. I was pretty sure [Lupe] was gonna say something really deep over a lot of the records, but I had no idea what they would be. I was open to what he had in mind. When I first heard it, I was like, “I don’t need to touch this! This is perfect.” [laughs]

SILY: It’s such a cool story, and in a weird way, do you feel like it only could have happened with lockdown?

KE: I feel like it aided it. I was an opportunity because everybody is in their homes, and it makes you think a little bit about what’s going on. I’m sure he’s had thoughts about things that are going on, and he has a very poetic way of saying it. I know a lot of people who are connected in my circle that work with him. Lupe Fiasco worked with Robert Glasper on [Black Radio]. Robert Glasper also collaborated with my close friend Kaytranada. It’s a pretty similar circle of musicians and artistry. I think it was just a matter of time for everybody to know each other.

SILY: They might be classified under different genres: You think, “Robert Glasper: jazz, Lupe Fiasco: hip hop, Kaytranada: electronic beat music with collaborators.” Where do you see yourself within the genre circle?

KE: For me, I kind of base everything around my purpose. I’m always aiming to inspire people with the abilities I have. I’m really good at creating sounds. Sonically, I’ve always been into that. Kaytranada is the reason I started doing this. In high school, I watched videos of how he was making beats, back in 2010. He cultivated this thing where producers can be artists too and create a sound and do your own thing. Seeing him cultivate that for the past 10 years is something I’ve always been interested in doing. I don’t have the biggest voice. I’m not the most intelligent when it comes to words all the time. Seeing musically how he was able to create that lane for other guys that want to do the same thing is pretty enlightening. Me and him are the same category of producer/artist, but I’m more in terms of full creativity. It doesn’t matter what the genre is--I want to make sure what I create helps others, which in turn is what the HOUSE project I did with Lupe ties into.

SILY: What else have you been up to over the past few months? Are you making beat videos and music in general?

KE: Yes. Actually the most productive time I’ve had making music. With everything shut down, what I’d normally get compensated and paid for working shows, when quarantine started, it got me back to when I was young creating music just for the fun of it. After that “White Walls” video that Lupe rapped on, I made a whole project called MOMENTS that followed up after that. I dropped it on June 19th. When I put it out, I was super scared because of the fact that typically, when it comes to people putting out albums--I made a poem on Twitter that it said if it was too long to be an EP, but too short to be an album, what would you call it? Someone wrote, “Just call it a short.” All of the beat videos I’ve made since “White Walls” I’ve put into a project called MOMENTS. I’ve had a lot of growth. A lot of really big people have hit me up. I’ve been talking to and collaborating with a lot of big artists, solely due to the beat videos I’ve been putting out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook consistently over the last several months. I’ve just been trying to put out a lot of content and get better at my craft every single day. Just try to be better.

SILY: Have you done any live streams?

KE: Outside of my IG Live, I’ve done one Twitch stream. I’m having some technical difficulties running it. I had to buy a brand new computer to be able to run Twitch and my computer programs at the same time. But I’ll be doing more Twitch streams in the future.

SILY: Something like performing the tracks from HOUSE with Lupe’s voice from elsewhere would prove to be pretty tough to pull off virtually, but are you performing the instrumentals from them?

KE: Oh yeah. Actually, I have this cool concept coming up where I’m gonna be recreating a couple of the records off the EP on my beat videos. Instead of it being the full instrumentation of the old beat I sent to Lupe, you’ll see me create “SLEDOM” or “DINOSAURS” from scratch on the next social media videos.

SILY: Who have you been working with lately?

KE: I’ve sent a couple beats off to Channel Tres. He’s a really cool dude. I’ve been sending him a lot of work as of late. Danny Brown, who I know is creating a lot of music and new projects. I don’t know what it entails. He recorded a couple tracks I made in 2017 with my homie GFL Paul at his studio. I sent him a really old beat I released a while back, one of the first tracks I worked on with another artist in Orlando. It’s called “Switch Lanes”; it’s a very grunge, hip hop-heavy record with a lot of experimentation. If Danny Brown liked that record, I’m not entirely sure where his approach would be, but he’s a really dope artist. I’d be excited to see where he goes with that.

Growing up, I was a huge Madlib, Flying Lotus, and J Dilla fan. When I first heard [Danny Brown] on Jay Stay Paid--I was heavy into that record because of his vocals over Jay Dilla’s beats. That was the last time I heard brand new, unheard Jay Dilla. Every time I go into it, it feels brand new. I’m excited to see what he does with what I sent him. Not sure what’s gonna happen, but I’m excited. [laughs]

Kaytranada as well, we’ve been shooting tracks back and forth to each other, especially during quarantine to stay inspired. Just trying to stay creatively locked in during this time.

I had a family member pass away recently. It was sort of out of the blue. My mind has been in a different place creatively. It’s hard with everything going on: COVID, presidential candidates, all of that type stuff can really wear on you.

SILY: Does making music offer you a refuge from trouble?

KE: Yeah. For me, I create music the way a songwriter would. A lot of songwriters are tapped into what’s going on in their mind or heart to be able to write great words. I do that with creating sounds and playing instruments. The same way you’d hear somebody on a guitar, I put that emotion and feeling behind it. Whatever things are transpiring, I try to put that in the art. Maybe someone will hear the track, and it will resonate. Because they’re instrumentals, I like to set up another person to say possibly what can not only be on someone else’s mind and my mind, but a bunch of other people in general. This record, HOUSE, does that. It’s really insane, man. I try to create music to zone out and express how I’m feeling through sound, and I hope whoever’s listening can feel that, too.

NBA 2K21, Mamba Eternal Edition, the king of basketball games pays tribute to the absolute king on the basketball court

Some time ago, NBA2K officially announced the opening of the pre-sale of "NBA 2K21". After successively announcing that Damien Lillard and Zion Williams became the cover of the 21st generation of the series, Kobe Bryant was officially announced as this. The third cover character of this game, and launched the Mamba Eternal Edition to commemorate the great history of Kobe Bryant for basketball. So far, the four versions of "NBA 2K21" launched this time are the current "Lillard Normal Edition", the next-generation "Zion Normal Class", the current "No. 8 Kobe Eternal Edition" and the next-generation "24 Kobe Eternal Edition". Unlike previous years, NBA2K replaced the previous legendary version with the Mamba Eternal Edition. This time the Mamba Eternal Edition will also present additional Kobe Digital Collection and Sapphire Lillard and Zion Fantasy Team cards. Since the birth of "NBA 2K1" in 1999, the "NBA 2K" series of game works have been regarded as the king of existence in the electronic basketball game industry, and Kobe Bryant is an absolute who has his own era in the NBA. King, this time the Mamba Eternal Edition will be the best tribute from the King to the King. The most important things in this game is still NBA 2K21 MT & VC.

An epoch-making basketball game

In 1999, the first version of an electronic basketball game "NBA 2K" co-produced by R Star and 2K Games was officially released. The game boldly integrated the hot American basketball professional league NBA, which caused quite a stir at the time. "NBA 2K", which focuses on realistic game experience and fine operation, instantly occupied a part of the market in basketball video games and attracted a large number of fans. Although the fledgling "NBA 2K" at the time was not enough to compete with the "FIFA" and "NBA live" series of games produced by Electronic Arts. However, the "NBA 2K" series of game works have undergone continuous development. With all-round NBA experience, exquisite player signature actions and meticulous and precise operation, players can experience the endless fun and charm brought by basketball games in all directions. "NBA 2K" will later It has also become the only electronic basketball game that can compete with the then "NBA live". In "NBA 2K", there are five positions of point guard, shooting guard, power forward, small forward and center, which greatly restores both sides on the NBA arena. And the "NBA 2K" follow-up series continue to add some of the popular basketball stars at the time, the selling points and covers of the most series of works, such as Allen Iverson of "NBA 2K4", Ben Wallace of "NBA 2K5", "NBA Shaquille O’Neal in 2K7, Kevin Garnett in NBA 2K9, LeBron James in NBA 2K14, Kevin Durant in NBA 2K15, and James Ha in NBA 2K16 Den and Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis and so on. "NBA 2K" series of works by virtue of excellent promotion and production, coupled with the authenticity and playability of the game itself, "NBA 2K" series of game works even surpassed the "NBA live" series of game works. Both "NBA 2K" and "NBA live" are epoch-making game works in the history of electronic basketball games, and have always been the world's most popular classic electronic basketball games, with a very large fan base around the world . However, as the "NBA live" series of games withdrew from the stage of electronic basketball games, the "NBA 2K" series officially became the king of electronic basketball games. There is no doubt that whether it is the "NBA live" series or "NBA 2K" The series are epoch-making works in electronic basketball games.

After the 21st generation, there may still be criticisms that the anniversary game cannot get rid of

From the first generation of the "NBA 2K" series to the present, "NBA 2K" has officially sold 20 generations of works. With the upcoming "NBA 2K21", the "NBA 2K" series has gone through 21 years and has Twenty-first generation works. Like the "FIFA" and "Madden NFL" series of games, they are both an anniversary game. The so-called anniversary game is a series of games that produce a generation of works a year, and an anniversary game that is updated too frequently. While maintaining the heat in this way, there is a criticism that cannot be shaken off that is that the gameplay and operation of the adjacent generations of works have little changes in the gameplay and operation, and there are few elements added, but the krypton gold elements continue to increase. Last year’s "NBA 2K20" was complained by many players. The content is similar to the original, the price is expensive, and the server is unstable. In fact, the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth generation works have the same problems and even the game content is almost Exactly the same. In today’s 21st generation of works, the price of "NBA 2K21" has increased again, with constant releases of works and constant price increases. Players spend money to play exactly the same games as before, and shed tears in front of the screen. . Of course, this is not a unique issue of the "NBA 2K" series. Almost all anniversary games on the market have this inescapable criticism. This 21st one hopes that what it can bring to players is a brand-new experience and different and usual fresh factors. After all, as the overlord of electronic basketball games, it can no longer release almost the same works as before, standing in front of the screen. Watching that string of numbers are rising, it is time to understand that only continuous innovation can capture the hearts of fans, and can no longer cheat on the bottom and block the feelings of fans. Although hope is not great, let us look forward to whether the game content of "NBA 2K21" can bring about change and innovation.

The eternal basketball game king in the hearts of basketball fans

Even though the "NBA 2K" series of game works have a series of indispensable anniversary games, it still cannot stop fans from loving and pursuing this series of electronic basketball games. Even if they are similar, fans are willing to spend money to buy their own "NBA 2K". There is not such a saying: every basketball fan has his own "NBA 2K". For the "NBA 2K" series of games, fans are no longer solely for the experience and pleasure of the game. They pay more for the basketball they love and their youth, not for anything else but for their feelings. This is a lot of basketball. The main reason why game lovers buy the "NBA 2K" series of games. The development of the "NBA 2K" series of game works has accompanied the youth of many basketball fans, and has also allowed basketball fans to experience the thrill of scoring and winning in a virtual game world, completing their unfulfilled hearts Regrets and concerns. In the hearts of fans, "NBA 2K" represents youth and feelings. This series of games will always be the eternal e-basketball game king in the hearts of basketball fans.

Kobe Bryant, the legendary and great absolute king of basketball

Kobe Bryant, he is the best scorer in the game, the absolute king on the basketball court, and a legend in the hearts of fans. Kobe Bryant, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the best basketball player in high school. He led the team to a score of 77 wins and 11 losses, won the first continental championship in team history in 50 years, and shocked the United States; Kobe Bryant, the sixth man in history to enter the NBA draft directly, was selected by the Charlotte Hornets, and then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, playing for the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his NBA career; Kobe Bryant, helped the Los Angeles Lakers win five NBA championships, won a regular season MVP in 2008, two finals MVPs from 2009 to 2010, and four NBA All-Star Game MVPs; Kobe Bryant has been selected to the NBA All-Star team 18 times in his career, selected to the All-NBA team 15 times, and selected to the All-Defensive team 12 times. Gorgeous statistics are unique; Kobe Bryant, who has been selected to the NBA All-Star Game for 17 consecutive times, has become the player with the most consecutive All-Star games in NBA history; Kobe Bryant, scored 81 points in a single game, the youngest 5,000-point player in the playoffs, shocked the four players; Kobe Bryant, the first player to retire two jerseys (No. 8 and No. 24) of the same player on the same team in the NBA; Kobe Bryant, the best scorer on the basketball court, stable jump shots, sharp breakthroughs, has won countless honors and awards for his entire NBA career; Kobe Bryant, no one would have thought that an unexpected thing would separate heaven and man, and the whole world would pray for him and remember him together; Kobe Bryant, persevering character, unyielding personality, Mamba spirit will last forever. "Have you seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?" Kobe's story is beyond words, and his achievements are infinite. What he means to the fans is even more unimaginable. There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant is the absolute king in basketball games. He is legendary and great among many basketball players and NBA history. exist.

The great game pays tribute to and remembers great people, although you are far away, you are still in my heart

One is the king of electronic basketball games, and the other is the absolute king on the real basketball court. The release of the Mamba Eternal Edition is a tribute to the king. The spirit of Mamba will not go away, Kobe will always exist in the hearts of fans. "NBA 2K" may not be considered a great game for some people, but in the hearts of basketball fans, in the history of electronic basketball games, the existence and persistence of "NBA 2K" created its history. Like Kobe Bryant, they are all qualified to be called great in their field. The release of Mamba Eternal Edition is a tribute and memory of the great game to the great and legendary Kobe. Although you are far away, you are still in my heart. The great game pays tribute to the great people. It is exactly the meaning of the "NBA 2K21" Mamba Eternal Edition. Damien Lillard represents the present, Zion Williams represents the future, and Kobe Bryant is Represents the eternal and immortal classic legend. Mamba never out. Although you are far away, you are still in my heart. The same is true for the "NBA 2K" series of games. Even if there are constant problems, it is still a classic electronic basketball game that fans will never die.

Your unfinished legend will be written by me in the game.

The most expensive video games right now might be sitting in your basement

These sports games are full of memories but the open market has other ideas.

Everyone has their favorite sports video game. The scuffed copy of NBA Jam Tournament Edition you jammed in your Super Nintendo more times than you can count, Madden NFL 2004 where Michael Vick was so broken you could rack up 300 yard rushing with ease, or NCAA Football 14, a final chance to remember how amazing college football games could be.

These memories are valuable. They’re worth everything to you — but the open market has other ideas. There are so old, bizarre sports games that could be sitting in a box in your parents’ attic right now worth enough to pay off your student loans, or at least a month or two rent. Similarly there are objectively some sports games so horrifically awful history deemed them to be worth absolutely nothing.

Kris Paine owns and runs “Well Played Games,” an arcade and vintage game store in Greenville, North Carolina. He uses a system shared by second-hand games stores across the country that tells him what stores charge on average for used games, and what absolutely nobody wants. It’s the best metric we have to truly determine how much we care about games as a society. I asked Paine for his list of the most (and least) valuable sporting games right now. This might result in you having the best day of the year, or just being grumpy about the $20,000 game you know got sold at a yard sale for a nickel.

The most expensive sports games right now.

No. 1: Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events (NES)

A video game Holy Grail, a loose copy of Stadium Events sells for over $9,000 on the open market. If you have it complete with box and manual you’re looking at a game which last sold for $29,251.

Released in September of 1987, Stadium Events is a game you have probably played — but never knew it by this name. Initially released in a very short run, Nintendo re-issued the game as World Class Track Meet to sell alongside the “Power Pad” peripheral. Players would run and jump on an often malfunctioning Power Pad, competing in Olympic-style races.

That version is probably the one you own. I’m sorry to tell you it’s worth nothing. However, if you somehow purchased the game before Nintendo re-branded it you’re sitting on one the rarest video games of all time. Nintendo typically did production runs of 10,000 units, though collectors believe far less copies of Stadium Events were created, due to the change in title.

No. 2: Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer (SNES)

There have been some really, really weird video game peripherals over the years — but nothing quite compares to the ancient Peleton grandfather, the “Extertainment Life Cycle.” A crossover product between Nintendo and exercise bike manufacturer “Life Cycle,” this was really Nintendo’s first attempt at cornering the lifestyle/fitness market in video games. It flopped so spectacularly they didn’t try it again until the release of the Wii.

The big issue is that the bike cost $800 on its release in 1994. Accounting for inflation that makes it $1,384 today. There were also only two games that supported the Extertainment Life Cycle, the pack-in combo of Mountain Bike Rally and Speed Racer. Yes, that Speed Racer, from the anime — except you’d pedal to make the Mach 5 drive.

It’s unclear how many copies of the pack in game still exist, but a loose copy is worth $1,346, with a complete in box one selling for $2,683.

No. 3: Daytona USA Championship [Net Link Edition] (Sega Saturn)

DAAAAYTOOOOONAAAAAAAAA!

A relic of a now hilarious time, this edition of the iconic arcade game was released in the internet’s infancy and represents one of the first games that could be played online. This used the incredible looking “Sega Net Link,” which was a partnership between Sega and early internet service provider Planetweb, Inc. Using all the power a 28.8 kbps modem could muster, it allowed players to compete online for the relatively low cost of $199. Keep in mind, this was at a time where PC gaming was prohibitively expensive for most people.

Still, the Sega Net Link didn’t attract too much attention and the Sega Saturn was later replaced with the Dreamcast. Still, if you have a copy of the Net Link version of Daytona USA it’ll fetch $581 for a loose copy, and over $1,000 if you have it in the box.

And now the cheapest sports games right now

They can’t all be gems waiting to make you extreme amounts of money, and these games prove that in incredible fashion. Any chances of these ever being worth anything is nothing, and keeping them around your house just hurts any items they’re stored next to.

No. 1: Enduro Racer (Commodore 64)

You might have fond memories of this on the Sega Master System or the arcade, but the Commodore 64 version was a steaming pile of trash. Even Commodore 64 collectors tend to pass on this one unless they absolutely need to complete their collection.

The game sells for $1.95, and Paine said he doesn’t even both buying them for less than $1 when they come in, because nobody ever buys it.

No. 2: Major League Baseball 2K7 (PSP)

I love everything about writing that title. It takes a very specific person not only to want a copy of Major League Baseball 2K7, but absolutely has to have it available on the go with their PSP.

This game sucks, and if you have a copy it’s worth $1.99. Paine has never sold a single copy of this game.

No. 3: Super Play Action Football (SNES)

Released in 1992, this was supposed to be the pre-eminent football experience until the release of the Madden series. It’s a good thing Madden came along, because this game was horrible in every conceivable way.

Writes Paine:

“It says the price is $3.19, but in three years I have never sold a copy. Any trades I get that includes it is automatically worth slightly less, as the stink of Super Play Action Football infects other games.”

No. 4: Sports Illustrated Golf Classic (GameBoy)

“It says $3.19 as well as the loose base price. Like Play Action Football this game is terrible. It somehow manages to be worse than Golf, and less charming too — because at least Golf had Mario in it ... sort of.”

No. 5: Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf (NES)

There is no fighting in Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf. It’s just a bad golf game and worth $5.
