QUESTIONS

  1. One of the most iconic sports video games ever came out in 1987 and this cover athlete played it in 2014 on Jimmy Fallon and was able to knock himself out. 
  2. This legend had a few video games, the first coming in 1988 when he played for the Kings, and the last in 1998 when he was with the Rangers.
