Play Sports Illustrated for Kids Online

Sports Illustrated for Kids came out for the original Game Boy, published by Malibu Games. It was part of that wave of licensed sports titles that tried to appeal to younger players, offering a mix of events without the complexity of bigger simulations.

You control a small athlete competing in several events like basketball, baseball, and golf. The main goal is to earn the highest score across each event by performing well in short, timed challenges. You shoot hoops by timing your button press for power and release, swing a bat to hit pitches, and putt on simple greens. The action is fast and the controls are minimal, relying mostly on timing and a little luck. It feels satisfying when you sink a long putt or hit a home run, even with the basic visuals.
