Play ESPN Great Outdoor Games - Bass 2002 (U)(Mode7) Online

ESPN Great Outdoor Games - Bass 2002 is one of those weirdly satisfying GBA games where you spend way too much time pretending to fish. It’s got that classic top-down view—simple, but weirdly tense when you’re trying to land a big bass before time runs out. The lures actually matter, too; pick the wrong one and you’ll just sit there staring at pixelated water while your rivals clean up.

It’s not fancy, but there’s something about the ESPN branding that makes it feel like a real tournament, even with the chunky GBA sprites. I lost a solid hour just grinding through the challenges, muttering at the screen when a fish got away. If you’ve got nostalgia for early 2000s handheld vibes, this one’s a surprisingly deep time-waster. Just don’t blame me when you start judging real lakes by their virtual counterparts.
