RealSports Baseball is a sports game that was also released on the Atari 2600 (1982) and Atari 5200 (1983).
+ Good pitch selection available, and easier double plays than the 5200 version as fielders all have cannons for arms.+ Pace of play has been massively sped up, which allows you to complete a full nine inning game much quicker.
- Batting is awful due to your lethargic swing speed, and when fielding it's difficult to accurately judge the location of fly balls.
- No skill level customisation options, and the brutal CPU often throws you out at first after a hit near the warning track.
- No longer an option to change innings length, no quick pitches and the endearing voice clips have been omitted.
- Having to activate teammates after a play and manually throw the ball back to the pitcher is slow and cumbersome.
- Graphics show no substantial improvements from the Atari 5200 version, which is odd considering the five-year gap.
