Great Baseball is a sports game that differs from the similarly named Sega Master System title Great Baseball (1987).
+ Home Run and two-player modes add longevity, and it's nice that you can choose between manual or automatic fielding.
+ Good pacing and unlike some baseball games you don't need to lob the ball back to the pitcher after throwing to a base!
+ Neat graphical touches, such as the foul ball faux-scaling and the pitcher who checks base runners prior to each pitch.
- Batting can take a while to adjust to, as the required swing timing to get a base hit is extremely precise.
- Hard to get invested in the available teams, as there's no squad / player names, or individual stats to aid strategy.
- Lacks personality, as there's barely any crowd SFX and home run cheers sound more like a broken leaf blower.
