Pete Rose Baseball (Atari 7800 review)

Developer: Absolute Entertainment
Publisher: Absolute Entertainment
Released: 1989

Pete Rose Baseball is a sports game that was released as Baseball in PAL territories.

+ Seamlessly switches between six camera angles for a TV broadcast feel, and playing outfield is instinctive.

- Options are sorely lacking as there's only single matches, just two unnamed teams and no choice for innings length.

- Gameplay is bare-bones when it comes to strategy, as players don't have any stats and there's no substitutions.

- Infielders can only move within a small boundary and invisible barriers mean the ball can be inches from your grasp!

- During the pitching view, the slightly angled camera makes it tough to accurately judge the ball in relation to the plate.

- Graphically, the game looks outdated with player sprites being the worst offender due to a lack of any facial features.

- Awful crowd SFX play throughout the entire match and your eardrums will bleed when a big play happens!
