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).

Yup, I remember this game. It is one the games that emulation cannot bring back, there is just no way to recreate those controls . I miss it dearly, I could not think of the name or I would have mentioned it.

And MVP thought they were Inovative with meter pitching .
Relief Pitcher

And Yes, World Series - The Season

And Check it out, both of these games have working scoreboards

Whoa. In my mind, Relief Pitcher's graphics were way better. Goes to show you how much memories can differ from reality when you tack 10 years onto them.

Seeing the pitching meter definitely refreshed my brain somewhat, though. I knew I had seen a pitching meter used before MVP somewhere (it was also used in a game called Grand Slam made by Virgin for psx in 96-97).

Now, I remember Relief Pitcher's control panel had a ton of buttons, like two big segmented sections which had buttons for stuff like different pitch types, power or contact swing, and steal.

If I had any room in my house, I would be turning it into an arcade room, with Relief Pitcher, Clutch Hitter and that World Series game. It would be awesome.....for about a week. Then I would be asking myself "why in the hell did I do this?" and going and .

Re: Remember the fights in Bases Loaded?

LOL, I would love to have to cabinets . I have a MAME cabinet now, so I can play relief pitcher without a problem. You are right, it had 2 big circles that were segmented into 3 buttons within the circle. Green, Yellow and Red I believe.
