Old enough to forget if I've posted in this thread. I'm 51 and more of a casual player, at best, nowadays. I think the one thing that keeps me playing from time to time are fictional rosters like Bacons.

I'm 40. My first baseball game was that game that had historical rosters on the NES (Was it RBI Baseball 2? I forget.

I'm 53. My first game was All-Star Baseball and had spinners and round cards. And we kept our stats in notebooks.

And LED Baseball by Mattel. And yeah, I kept stats in a notebook for that, too.

34

I’m pretty sure my first baseball video game would’ve been Super Bases Loaded on the SNES.

Turned 46.


If I remember correctly, my first proper baseball game was TV Sports baseball on dear Amiga 500, which I played with a friend of mine.



Must a been quite a view, two kids in then Yugoslavia, playing a game of sport in a country where majority of population didn't even hear about.



Loved the game and a bit later even played it for real, when some enthusiasts formed a club on a field near my home. So passionate that we even went on a some sort of a 'european club championship' in Italy, back in the late '80s...

32. My first game was Triple Play 98 (Brian Jordan on the cover).

It had Erik Kiss, the cornfield stadium. oh good times.



It honestly doesn't look as bad as I was expecting



I've loved many Triple Plays. the one with the creative home run challenge that had targets, living room, even a Medievel castle!



Then came MVP 2004, a really strong game with the worst glitch in sports gaming history, which is, left-handed hitters couldn't hit home runs. Well, once in a while you could luck into a wall-scraper. How that made it beyond testing is anyones guess.



Fortunately they followed it up with the best video game of all-time... which was sadly followed by a buyout. Which is how I ended up with The Show.



I like The Show, I really do, but to this day I believe Triple Play and MVP's hitting mechanics more naturally mimicked real-life hitting. Cursor-based hitting is nothing like real hitting, and that's my biggest gripe with The Show. Hitting is about timing, it's not timing+aiming. The aiming part is instinctual. I realize that technically there is a timing-only option but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Triple play 98 still my favorite intro....and Erik Kiss what a name.

I had an Atari 2600, but my best friend had an Intellivision. I mean, yeah, it's a terrible game. But it felt like playing baseball in HD compared to Atari baseball.

I’m 32 and the first baseball game I played was All Star Baseball 2001 on Nintendo 64. I fell in love with baseball in 2000 and was already into games. That game was phenomenal
