Hooray for Baseball Season and the Atari ! ! !

[Red 5]

Two great tastes that taste great together !

 

So... what's your favorite 2600 baseball game?

I'm an M-Network man myself...

 

[iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin]

:D

 

I like these bats............! You can never own enough of them!

[lapetino]

Ummm, where the heck is Pete Rose Baseball?! By far the best looking baseball game for the 2600. The gameplay is pretty fun as well. Ranks #2 in baseball games.

 

But for me, it still comes down to Super Challenge Baseball by M-Network. SO fun! Love the pitch control! Always a crowd-pleaser when I bust it out.

 

And what's up with that Yankee game? Can't say I'm a fan of that business.

 

(Go Cubs.)

[Red 5]

Totally forgot to the Pete Rose cart.

CRAP!

 

... have to change everything... grumble grumble....

 

The Yankeemania is a hack of Megamania I made a while back.

 

And the Cubbies are great with me... love 'em ... unless they're playing the Yankees...

Soriano and Lou? What's a Yankee fan not to love?

I know this is in the 2600 section, but I have always been a fan of the 5200s real sports baseball. The swinging stick is fun.

 

My true favorite, though, is Intellivision baseball!

M-Network, all the way. (Too bad it didn't have AI though...)

Baseball / Home Run.

Baseball / Home Run.

 

For all its faults Home Run was not that bad. As far as any Atari goes, it has to be Star League Baseball for the 8bit. Best Baseball game in my opinion.

 

Let's Go Phillies!

M Network Super Challenge Baseball is my favorite. It really is a great game. One of the only Atari games that my dad would actually play with me when I was a kid.

Here's my article on Atari at the Ballpark... Pete Rose is definitely my fave. Especially after you get used to the outfielder selection. I play it all the time on my DS from the GBA Activision Anthology cart.

I didn't realize that it was on the GBA Activision Anthology. I have one of those around here somewhere.

 

I played Pete Rose on the 7800 tonight. I hated it at first but once I got more familiar with the controls, I really started enjoying it. I'm going to try and hit the 2600 baseball games over the next week or two.

BTW: Great article!! Other than being a Cards fan, you're not too bad

M Network is 2 player only.

However, it is really brilliant.

Full control over pitches and simple defense. Up to throw to second, right to first, etc.

Double plays were even possible thanks to the easy controls.

 

My brother and I played the hell out of this game.

After reading this thread, I realized I never tried Pete Rose Baseball. So, I fired it up in Stella and played a couple innings. I'm very impressed with the gameplay. I like it a lot!

Pete Rose is my favorite for the 2600 but baseball games are one of the few genres that I almost exclusively play on modern systems. MLB The Show - 09 :thumbsup:

[black dog]

M Network baseball is a great game. I only wish there was a 1 player mode.

[shadow460]

Home Run was my fave 2600 baseball title. It's the one video baseball game I've played the most.

 

EDIT: The 6 key on my keyboard isn't working... 5,, 7, grr...

You should send me your bats and I'll take another picture here.

 

Just kidding.. Really I would love an Atari baseball bat. Those are very cool.

I have Pete Rose Baseball for the 7800, the ball could be right in front of the 3rd baseman but he can't pick it up because

the ball is not in his zone. My pitcher has to go all the way to 3rd to pick the ball up
