Epic battle spoiled by Nintendo malfunction

RBI?

You could be leading by 9 and you were going into extra innings. I dont know that Ive played a game against a friend that didn't make it to the 11th

That was the original baseball game for Nintendo called "Baseball". Had tons of fun playing this game even though it was nothing special. I miss the sound effects for fly balls and when you're called out. :classic

It might sound stupid to say this, but the original RBI baseball was, IMO, the greatest sports game made. It was fun and easy and the controls were excellent. I've tried to play a bunch of other baseball games for NES and SNES, but I've never enjoyed any of them like RBI. NBA Jam was fun, too, but games with large groups on the court/field/ice where you only control a single person at a time strike me as kind of lame.

Not only is this a major step up from the original, but Baseball Stars II (BS2) is arguably the best NES baseball game ever! As a tribute to Babe Ruth himself, all the players look like fat slobs, and they're easy to control. The pitcher/batter screen lets you keep a watchful eye on baserunners, and infielders can dive for grounders. To catch fly balls, you'll need to use both the ball shadow and the sound effects, but initially locating your fielder can be a problem. The fielders have weak arms, and many of their throws bounce in the dirt. All the players and teams are fictional, as are the four stadiums. BS2's graphics are simple but attractive, and pleasant background music plays throughout the game. You can select your starting pitcher, alter your batting order, insert pinch hitters, and change pitchers at any time. A few of the sound effects are comical, like the pitch that sings like a bird. But hey, this game isn't for purists; it's for people who want to have fun!

Played a fun baseball game for PS3 called "The Bigs". We played 4 player matches in ThaKilla's theatre....was a super sick baseball game. Prob the best one ever.
