    Does anyone remember Roger Clemens baseball on the NES, Genesis, and SNES? In those games, you had to pick which part of the bag/plate you wanted your hand to go, and the cpu would try to guess the same location and tag you out. It was kind of fun because it was different, but it got old real quick.

    Also, the ASB games on N64 had a slide button, and depending on when you pushed it, you would do either a head first or a normal feet first, pop up slide. You could also choose to slide either to the left or right of the bag and plate. It was actually really cool because it definitely had an effect on the play. You could get around the tag and get called safe if you were good. You could also miss the bag completely and have to dive back to the base.

    I had both of those games. Roger Clemens for SNES and All-Star for N64.

    I just don't understand how things so intuitive just get lost after awhile. Why are there things that were such great ideas in old games that new games still don't even consider?

                    Yeah they were great, especially when you pushed to the left or right and slid too wide of the bag and your hand missed it entirely. It was funny to watch, but I wish the runners would have been able to get up and get back a little quicker. I got called out many a time due to that.

                            Haha, I actually was thinking of D.Judge for David Justice. Since he is my favorite player. To be truthful... Roger Clemens Baseball had some great graphics for the NES.

                                    The ASBs for n64 used to have them. You could even do a hook slide if you pressed the control stick the right way. It helped out a lot because you could slide away from a tag.
