Released: 1987
Great Baseball is a sports game that differs from the similarly named Sega Master System title Great Baseball (1985).
+ Individual stats encourage tactical play, there's a whopping 26 teams, and the game supports 1-2 players.+ Allows you to customise your starting pitcher, as well as choosing when to bring in a relief player or pinch hitter.
+ Clear voice samples and the cool scoreboard animations resemble FIFA International Soccer (1993, Sega Genesis).
- Angled view when pitching makes it difficult to judge spatial distance and the exact location of the strike zone.
- Ball absolutely flies off the bat, which makes defense tough as your players can't move anywhere near as fast.
- Automatic base runners aren't the smartest, as they'll often head from 3rd to home base on an infield fly ball!
- CPU A.I. is inconsistent, as one minute they'll swing during your pitch wind-up, before becoming world beaters.
