gdement Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Were the Hardball games from the DOS era any good? Chris I downloaded a playable demo of one of them back then, and I liked it. I didn't really get to play the whole game though. I'll just grab one of them off the web and check it out. Where are you from in Northern California? Chris Foresthill. Used to live in Folsom a few years ago. Actually the way it says "from" makes me think I was supposed to put where I grew up or something. I grew up in the midwest. Edited February 21, 2009 by gdement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfleet Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I was always a big fan of the Baseball Simulator 1000 games for the NES and SNES. My favorites for the newer consoles are MLB Power Pros for the PS2 and The Bigs for the X360. Even though it's technically not baseball, Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball for the NES is awesome too. That game gets really fun if you play it on NesterDC on the Dreamcast at double speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBI Baseball NES Baseball Stars NES Bases Loaded NES I could never really get into the Bases Loaded series. I think the perspective of batting while looking in from behind the pitcher never worked for me. Some of my old grade school friends used to love the series, back in the day.

+thegoldenband Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) A game that most assuredly doesn't belong on this list, but of which I have fond memories: Color Baseball for the Tandy CoCo. I figured out how to break the AI at a pretty young age -- as I recall, there was some way to get it to let me steal bases repeatedly. I think my high score was 93-0, and probably could've been much higher if I hadn't gotten bored and/or lazy. Still, the four-part harmonized version of the national anthem was a nice touch, considering the limited sound hardware of the CoCo, and I had fun with it in its day. Another game that doesn't belong on this list: Super Bases Loaded 3 for the SNES. The fielding is totally broken and unplayable, and the voice samples for the umpire are hilariously fey.
