Remember the fights in Bases Loaded?

Re: Remember the fights in Bases Loaded?

I'd like to add Tony LaRussa 3 (1996) to your Hall of Fame list, and the ultimate OG of baseball games: Earl Weaver Baseball.

And to your other sports list, we can't forget FPS Football.

Re: Remember the fights in Bases Loaded?

I am liking the Hall Of Fame idea more and more. I think I will try and contact Steve and see what he thinks.
I think it needs to be really exclusive. Make it really hard on us to pick just two out of a list a bunch of great games. The Hall could wings for each type of sports game.

Know I need to figure out how contact and pitch it to Steve.

That is the first time I have ever seen someone mention Relief Pitcher here. Man, that game was great for it's time. I don't think a lot of people got to play it, though. I don't remember a whole lot about the game, but I specifically recall how great a hit ball coming off of the bat looked. In a time where every baseball game had a pretty lengthy and noticeable pause from the time contact was made to the camera switching to the fielding view, it seemed totally seamless in that game.

A couple other good arcade baseball games from "back in the day":

Clutch Hitter by Sega (1990-91)-

the first game I remember playing that had real MLB players that actually looked and played like the real deal. The pickoffs in this game are still the best I have ever seen.

World Series Championship Baseball (or World Series: The Season-can't remember for sure)- (early/mid 80's)-

This game was way ahead of its time. It had 2 analog sticks (one for hitting and one for pitching). To hit, you had to pull the stick back and release it at the right time to hit the ball. You could also rotate the stick up or down when you pulled back to swing high or low. For pitching, you first had to direct a little white dot to the spot you wanted to aim your pitch, hit a button to lock it in, then pull the stick down and release it to pitch. You could also move the stick to the left or right on the upward motion for breaking balls.

All of the fielding was handled automatically, but man, what a fun game that was back then. More than 15 years passed before another game tried a similar hitting system (World Series Baseball Arcade by Sega in late '99).
