I think the guys name on the Mudhens named Lyons was a beast. Thats the team I used and I hit like 70 HR that season with him if i remember right.

[quote]how did Tecmo Baseball not make the cut? it was the only game i nearly threw a no hitter at. i loved that game... now lets start talking about 16 bit baseball games.[quote]

Tecmo Baseball was a great game....as was RBI Baseball. But IMO, Baseball Stars was IT on NES......It was the first game to have a battery backup for all stats during season play.....gameplay was (and still is) awesome......yes players were either HOF or created....but you could create your own team.....nothing really could match what BS brought to the table......I still play it on my Droid at work during lunch (BS and Tecmo Bowl)...lol

As for the 16 Bit era......Probably my favorite 2 baseball games are Tommy LaSorda Baseball (Genesis) and World Class Baseball (TG16)....I know they were NOT the best on their systems let alone alltime.....but they were a GUILTY PLEASURE to me.

I Loved (and still own) the Japanese version of Bases Loaded 2 on SNES....my brothers and I had so many battles on that game....we used to decide what chores and who would go to the store...those were the times.

More recently I downloaded the Pro Jikkyu Series onto my droid....and if I had my hands on that series back then.....easily would have made for the best 16-bit era baseball game/series.

Man I am so glad you posted this. PLEASE post more classic sports game stuff. Do the same thing with football and basketball games. Go 8 bit and 16 bit.

I loved everyone of these games. They all had something great about them. Basball because it was first. Played it the first time on a Play Choice Ten. Bases Loaded was very realistic for it's time. The only thing that was strange about it was the metal bats. LOL Only rented Baseball Stars but loved it. Baseball Sim 1.000 was awesome I have the SNES version of it. The NES version was sooooo fun. The Ultra mode was awesome. RBI was great because I loved using the Cardnals and stealing every base with Vice Coleman. It did a great job of putting the teams strength and weaknesses in the game.

I would have to add Bad News Baseball and Little League Baseball. They were very fun too.

Great list. Brings back memories.

Ahhh Baseball Simulator 1.000, awesome game. Until The Show, Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 was by far the baseball game that I had logged the most hours with.

I loved RBI Baseball and Bases Loaded: Second Season was also great

This article raises the question...

Where is the RBI Baseball that appeared to be headed to the Xbox Live Arcade?

There were a couple of threads about it a while back here at this very forum, one of which had a response from someone at 2K Sports saying that it was still in the works.

Any of you guys remember those codes you had to put in for Bases Loaded to resume your season? I had those codes written all over the place, man. I was addicted to that game.

Wow! I owned all top 5 games mentioned & played the heck out of them. Out of these though Baseball Simulator 1.000 was my favorite. I remember spending hours renaming all the players to actual MLB players... Those were the days.
