MVP baseball 2005 to this day is my favorite

[@Orlandofinesse2tymes]

I think that game might of been the first to add mini games which made the game the top

[@crispinroy9839]

Hell yeah I still play it

[@MrGmonkeywillruleyou]

Mine is baseball stars 1989

[@venom74799]

And baked beans.

[@craigfandel3480]

@@MrGmonkeywillruleyou absolutely loved that game

[@Flashfm3000]

The centerfielder's scream of frustration at 15:13 😂

[@jimmybellmon1268]

Baseball Stars is still my all-time favorite, that game was revolutionary. I still play the emulation today.

[@kiljaedyn]

they dont even know, it's sad

[@jimmybellmon1268]

@@kiljaedyn back in like 2008 I was in an online league for Baseball Stars using a modded rom someone created. I'm still trying to find that rom. It was better than EA or 2k franchise leagues.

[@ttemplarknightt309]

Thanks for the memories. My all time favorite is 4:24 Baseball Stars. Way before KZbin and google we learned about past time legend’s through books and baseball cards. Playing the American Dreams with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio, Reggie Jackson all on the same team was mind blowing. Lots of fun playing this dream team in a tournament against the world.

[@johncardilino5009]

The one that gets me right in the feels, is Intellivision baseball. Played that with my uncle for hours on end back in the early 80s.

[@larrybass370]

Baseball Stars on NES was so underrated. It was the first game you could build attributes and customize player names.

[@julio_scissors]

The absolute GOAT

[@MovingBlanketStudio]

agreed, that was fun

[@kiljaedyn]

by far the best. the techmo superbowl of baseball.

[@randallross420]

Baseball Stars was miles ahead of all the other games, even for years after it was released. It had the big player sprites at all times never switching to the mini players, and never had the slow motion balls being thrown. The action stayed fast paced just like it should have.

[@kurtrundell6834]

23:15 The greatest baseball game ever created.

[@ajplays232]

no, maybe greatest nostalgia wise, but kinda sucks in gameplay

[@javonsportyharbin]

Yes

[@javonsportyharbin]

@@ajplays232 L take

[@zikalokof1challenge414]

@@ajplays232 Comparing to The Show it definitely isnt amazingly good (like having a PCI and stuff like animations), but the directional hitting + hitters eye gives you a ton of fun. I was born after 2005, so I got my hands on the game this year, and it absolutely rocks. The pitches feel much faster than The Show (which I never played, but I watch a ton of content on YT) and the sensation of getting your timing just right and hitting a bomb dead center is one of the best feelings I've ever had playing a game

[@chadgebhardt7972]

W take

[@thisguy8373]

Use to love bases loaded games 😂... still a gem in my book

[@matthewbrown6397]

Baseball Stars is the greatest baseball game every made, hands down. Followed by Base Wars, ohhh good times.

[@goatcheese4me]

4:55 - my personal favorite baseball game of all time when it comes to memories made; 23:14 best baseball game of all time

[@terryhouserii7560]

Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball will always be a top classic for me.

[@MrRoboto81]

Baseball Stars is still one of the best baseball games as well as best sports games of all time.

[@retropyro]

On man, Star League Baseball on my C64 was so much fun. The homeruns were so damn good. Sports Talk Baseball may have been my favorite though.

[@twigstudios]

I used to play the Triple Play series to death. Owned them all. The VR Baseball Series was another favorite of mine. But I loved the Epyx Sporting News Baseball game as well. Such memories.

[@RK-fh4bp]

Triple play 96 on sega genesis brings back so many memories.

[@nseifner]

Evolution from 87-91 was incredible

[@robkukoc3393]

The original Bases Loaded was one of favorite games of all time…I used to keep my own stats lol 😂

[@sgtslaughter21]

Seems like most of us are still in agreement that even in 2023 "Baseball Stars" still holds the title ... climbing the wall robbing home runs that game was decades before it's time

[@doug2731]

What a huge rush of nostalgia.

[@jerryw2460]

The first sports talk baseball deserves alot of love didn’t have the actual names of the teams but had the names of all the players and their actual batting stances. Fun game

[@chuckschickbaldtacos]

Baseball Simulator 1.000 … we played that for hundreds of hours … the trick pitches and batter power ups were so much fun

[@darkjedi74]

I really miss those All Star Baseball series of games in the late 90’s, up until ASB 2005. Those games might still be made had their parent company not gone belly up. Those ASB games were amongst the best Acclaim ever made.

[@dtroit2]

What a great idea for a youtube channel. Honestly. These must take forever to put together. Thanks!

[@Live01Legends]

MVP Baseball 2005 is so fun. Roger and I still play it monthly.

[@nickelasso]

World Series for the Genesis was awesome. First game I remember playing that had each team's unique stadium as the backdrop. Later versions even had the real outfields.

[@Pensfan5919]

And it only got better on the Saturn and Dreamcast. Sega always had good systems, they just overmarketed themselves.

[@DCLocal84]

@@Pensfan5919 World Series Baseball '98 for the Saturn remains my favorite sim style Baseball game of the '90s. It is an underappreciated classic. The batter interface with the guess pitch location was years ahead of its time.

[@donellferguson4986]

It was the first baseball game I ever played

[@J.C...]

I was a beast at Sports Talk Baseball on Sega lol. I LOVED that game!

[@ScreaminSeahawk]

I loved Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 because of the special abilities hitters could get, like when the ball hits the ground an earthquake starts. Fun times.

[@WarrenVanWyck15]

This was one of my very favorite childhood games. The special abilities were amazing. I also liked creating entire lineups of my youth baseball team on the game. The season mode was amazing as well, but I never made it past 80 games without some glitch happening and it being erased, which I always played as Montreal for some reason. It wasn't uncommon for Eddy, Ferd, Geoff, Harry, Jean, and Kent to be the top 6 in the league in ERA, lol. Funny that I still remember their names from 25+ years ago!

[@doubleAawesome1]

High heat baseball was the best simulation in the late 90s. Such an underrated series.

[@aparise1]

Amazing, thanks for bringing back so many good memories.

[@BarryJowers]

I use to love playing Front Page Sports Baseball. That game was so deep with teams from so many eras.

[@tatevancleve1802]

What a trip down memory lane. I got the genesis for my 10th bday in 1989 & Tommy Lasorda baseball was one of my first games . It was light years beyond any baseball game on nes so was prob the best looking baseball game for at least 3 years. I also got allstar baseball 99 & 2000 for the Nintendo 64. Those games were so good I probably played 2000 until 2005 without ever feeling a need to upgrade just because the game was so good.

[@docsgambling]

Good stuff, played so many, even into the early 80's, guess I'm dating myself. Thank you.

[@JiuJitsuDC]

Adding a “Hit ‘Em with the Hein!” Is amazing!!

[@maxwellharris507]

MVP Baseball 2005…. I played that game RELIGIOUSLY

[@mattietee7566]

I think it’s safe to say, all Sega’s Baseball games we’re a head of it’s time compared to all the others that came out those years

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Very cool video. I'm glad you covered SMB.

[@dfgatorfan]

So many friendships were tested in RBI Baseball lol. Bringing out Dennis Eckersley pretty much meant the game was over.

[@scottcherrysr2368]

Watching this brings back so many memories

[@mikehunt9884]

Forgot to cover the Pro Yakyuu Spirits franchise, which is one of the best baseball franchises ever. The gameplay is solid i played the heck out of the PS2 versions, even though i didn't know any of the japanese teams or the players, that is how good the gameplay was. They still make em btw, they have 2022 on switch i think, and one on ps4. Theres also a website that has a lot of help and screenshots of some of the menus with the english translation.

[@MrDavis...42]

It's amazing them All; Earl Weaver topped for me because of all the historical stadiums and it gave me more appreciation and knowledge of the players before my time.

[@mjdf122]

I always enjoy your generations of gaming videos I’m from 1980 so I’ve been blessed to see it all in gaming so far so many great sports games out there

[@unkledoda420]

Tony LaRussa Baseball on Sega was my favorite as a kid.

[@vernonharley]

Ken Griffey baseball on the Super Nintendo was one of the greatest baseball games ever made

[@d.l.rittenberry6394]

Man, I miss the Slugfest games.

[@dougfowler1368]

This is so interesting! I'd like to see something on the game engine itself if there isn't one already, like how the computer determine if it was a hit, strikeout, etc. if there was no arcade level where you aren't controlling the game yourself. I think that would be fascinating to see the advanced in realism as well as how early computers like the Commodore 64 Epyx game did it. SSI had one but at least it had Runner ratings and I think Fielder ratings so you could kind of understand, though maybe Epyx did also and you just didn't see them.

[@KurisuBlaze]

Played the OG Backyard Baseball, did some Power Pro games, can get to Baseball Simulator 1.000 with Switch, and also played the Bigs 2. Also, one not mentioned (and more easily missed compared to Power Pros, which got mostly skipped over, and a complete omission of the Power Pro Pocket subseries) was one Downtown Nekketsu Baseball Monogatari, in '93 on SNES/Super Famicom. That's River City/Crash 'n' the Boys Baseball, there, but in terms of 'out there', it's about equal to Baseball Simulator 1.000 or Mario Superstars, with super pitches, super batting, and some harder sliding. So moderately tame for River City.

[@mjfm4]

The behind the pitcher view of bases loaded make it the greatest baseball game ever

[@jeppeling]

Great video!

[@violentforce5357]

Ken Griffey JR on the Nintendo 64 is my all time favorite and I can play it on my phone!

[@michaelfesinmeyer2061]

I played Intellevision MLB, Star League Baseball (Curves Cassidy), Micro League Baseball, NES Baseball, Champion Baseball (Arcade), Intellivision World Series Baseball, Hardball 1, 2 & 3, RBI Baseball (All renditions, Earl Weaver Baseball 1 & 2, Major league baseball NES, Bases Loaded 1 & 2, Tommy Lasorda Baseball, Baseball Simulator 1.000, Tecmo Baseball, Baseball Stars, Little League Baseball, Base Wars, Front Sports Baseball, Triple Play, MVP baseball, Sports talk Baseball, All, Star Baseball, MLB the Show amongst others.

[@rice_goat80]

Realsports Baseball 1982 on Atari looks crazy advanced for it's day. That was phenomenal looking.

[@willielopes8878]

Mvp baseball is the best as far as gameplay. It was awesome. I still play then

[@helpme.imlost.4671]

3:22 I love how the umpire screams "safe!" after the pitcher is killed by a cannonball.

[@MMMmyshawarma]

08 TB vs PHI, nice. Also noticed other WS represented in the years.

I remember "Baseball" back in 1977. It seemed so real.

[@TheYellowman2000]

its still real to me dammit

[@AdamsBrew78]

My first baseball game was one of those primitive LED light handhelds from the 70s , one pixel per player and one for the ball ;) … Second was baseball for NES , which had everyone in the family wanting to play or watch.

[@coyotejohenson7245]

Realsports Baseball on Atari 7800 did not come out in 1982. The Atari 7800 was projected for release in 1984 but did not come to market until 1986.

[@jaymac7203]

The early ones though 😭😭 lol I swear kids of today have no idea how good they have it.

[@jjm6480]

The PC version of Pete Rose baseball was my favorite of the late 80s. Had a career mode with retirements/rookies/famous free agents. You could also name what city you wished to have your team represent. I spent so many hours on that game.

[@hawaiihouse2810]

Was Base Wars on here. Man I loved that game.

[@karabell5637]

World Series baseball was amazing in 95 !I was fifteen and played everyday after school trying to win World Series with bonds and co..

[@jackroberts9401]

Great collection, but i had one you missed. In 1987 i got a C64 game called Steve Garvey vs Jose Canseco Baseball. It was probably not as good as i remember.

[@Hollowsmith]

1983 Nintendo Baseball was a MASSIVE leap forward.

[@FrankLucas81682]

Damn kids in the 70s had it rough when it came to video games 😂😂

[@winns35]

No world class baseball on turbo grafx. That was one of my favorites as a kid.

[@Burt1038]

I remember Triple Play '98, including the ads for Lobster Cola and Triplicate Life Insurance. Triplicate Life Insurance: three times the coverage, for only twice the price!

[@YoungBideo]

Current state of gaming is sad. Only 2 baseball games the past 2 years. The days of 10 baseball games being released in a single year are long gone. The production and cost to produce games today are killing the market. Thank God for Nintnedo, keeping it simple, that's the way you're supposed to do it.

[@erics8192]

you missed the best part of the two "baseball simulator 1.000" games, the ability to do super human pitches and hits

[@seannolan9857]

I remember we had a DOS baseball game in the early 90's, but I'm not seeing it on your list anywhere. Conceptually, it was something of a 70's throwback, as the players were colored rectangles, except for the batter who was a stick figure. I don't remember who the developer was anymore.

[@maxpower2511]

The games from like 1998 ish had soul...these new games have no soul. There used to be so many choices...now you have one choice.

[@kagemusha168]

Imagine taking a person playing the RCA studio version forward in time and showing them the PS5 version.

I've only played the Ken Griffey Jr one I loved it

I'll never forget my freshman year in college a guy in the dorms borrowed my Frank Thomas' Big Hurt Baseball and never gave it back...

[@Bigdaddyweese]

Bases Loaded was played so much when I was kid the cartridge quit working and I had to buy a new one lol

[@dmac7403]

83-85 Nintendo RBI baseball was the very first really fun one to play.

[@-FAFO-]

This. RBI baseball is goated

[@gabrielwendell8382]

triple play 2000 for PS1 got me started

[@BChewMusic]

Wish they would’ve made more NCAA baseballs.. logged A LOT of hours on that bad boy

[@asterlofts1565]

I like how one of those video games that appears in this video is literally called "Super Baseball 2020", as if 2020 was really going to be like that... XD Although I hope that things will be like this by 2100 or 2150.

[@atbsigma]

I like all the voice talents lent to these games. I heard Vin Scully in a few of em.

[@SalisburyTheWaterFoxxo]

RIP Vin Scully

[@DCTib]

RBI 3 was totally different on NES. It looked very similar to RBI 2 and nothing like the Genesis version shown here.

[@ericsinchina]

RBI baseball was the best game until world series came out on genesis...which just destroyed everything. (Baseball stars was a lot of fun though)

God DAMN the movement on that curve in 1982.

[@tomservo5347]

I never had so much fun as with the SNES 'Baseball Simulator 1.000' with Ultra League and their ridiculous superpowers.

[@RichardSanchez137]

RBI '93, Triple Play Gold, Griffey N64 are the only baseball games you should even remotely think about.

[@game84cube]

I can't believe baseball games waited until MLB Penant Race to find out what a cutoff man is. Seriously, fielding in old games looked rough! Shoulder buttons that allow easy player switching were probably the best innovation that baseball games had

[@kiljaedyn]

NES Baseball Stars was the best of them all.

[@matthewmensah481]

Abner Doubleday was invented the game of baseball ⚾🧢 in 1839!
