A Sprite #6 Posted September 16, 2007 What is the best baseball game between the SNES and Genesis? What are you looking for? Simulation or just for fun? Either Triple Play or World Series 95 and up have you covered for Genesis. If you don't care about a realistic defense, and want a party game anyone can get into and have a decent chance at hitting a home run before the night is through, or you miss the classic arcade sensibilities of pre-crash sports games, go for Rare's Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run.

If someone really wants to like Ken Griffey's Winning run, they need other baseball fans to play a season with them. Me and my two best friends in residence used to play seasons in this thing that took a couple weeks to play through. The game has a very robust stats tracker and a great trading system. We would draw teams from a hat and were allowed to recruit two star players before the start of the season. It was the most fun I have had with, I think, any videogame ever. Playing it alone, I think I'd hate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory DG #8 Posted September 16, 2007 What are you looking for? Simulation or just for fun? Just pick up and play mostly. Going through a whole season doesn't keep my attention. Agreed about Baseball Stars 2. That's probably my favorite. But I don't think there's a Neo*Geo emulator for the DS yet (which is what I'm looking to do with the SNES or Genesis game, since there's no decent baseball game for the DS!)

Yes, unfortunately that's correct about the DS and the emulater. However, The PSP is much easier to mod, and there is plenty of different emulaters to play most classic Nintendo Platform games on the PSP. I used to go to Chinatown in NY to do it at a cheap price. Unfortunately, most Mom & Pop games stores don't want to bother the DS because of the Nintendo Seal Of Quality Reputation. Try the PSP with this stuff. Anthony....

phaxda #12 Posted September 17, 2007 I have to go with a NES game too--how can you possibly get any better than RBI Baseball. What other old baseball game has a whole site dedicated to it and holds championships and (some years) has people post updated ROMs for current teams? RBI all the way. For true old-school, I still love INTV Baseball the best. 16 bit? pshh Bad News Baseball for the NES is where its at! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and the same firends who played Griffey had an ongoing contest to see who would be first to pitch a perfect game in RBI 1. We each got close to winning (I think I got the first out in the ninth as my personal best), but no one got there. Defense in that game is not easy.

deadmeow #17 Posted September 17, 2007 The best 16 bit home consonle baseball is the RBI series for Genesis. RBI-3 Has the cool little sized dudes, and the sequels have the larger players (RBI-4, RBI'93, RBI'94). The best 16 bit computer baseball I ever played was Hardball for the Apple IIgs. We had a lot of fun with that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phaxda #18 Posted September 17, 2007 I would like to apologize for hijacking the thread and also agree that the Genny RBI releases are also very good. I'd give the 16-bit nod to them!

lord_mike #19 Posted September 17, 2007 There was always a place in my heart for Hardball. The Genesis version was okay, but I liked the Amiga version better... Well, if you are going to bring up the Amiga, then there is one, and only one, baseball game even worth talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Weaver_Baseball This game is STILL the best ever, even 20 years later...

Oh, man, about a year or so ago I spotted a boxed copy of that (probably the MS-DOS version) and passed. I'm STILL kicking myself over that one. I had a blast playing EWB in college with one of the guys down the hall. It was old even then, but awesome. If I ever spotted the Amiga version in the wild I don't know what I'd do. (Before buying it and racing home and digging out my old A2000 that is.) The best baseball simulation ever on the best computer ever? That'd be NUTS.

Lemmi #21 Posted September 18, 2007 some very good baseball games listed here but stay far away from the genesis version of Hardball by Ballistic, unless it sounds fun to you i remember renting this and taking it back after trying to play it for 6 hours and i told them they should send it back to where ever they got it from i dont know how this got a 7 http://www.gamespot.com/genesis/sports/hardball/index.html but its said to be a realistic simulation, i thought it sucked and wasnt fun at all, i dont know if they fixed the problems with it on the other 3 hardball games after as i stayed away from baseball and stuck with hockey and football untill 1998 for the Gen but i did play bases loaded 1 and 2 and baseball stars for the NES to death Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
