Baseball, or ベースボール, developed and distributed by Nintendo. This version of the game is basically a port of the original NES game, and plays just like it.

It's a very simple baseball game, where you control batting and pitching and don't have much of a goal other than to win the game, over and over again.

Technically it's pretty bad; the game is awkward to control and cumbersome, and the computer's intelligence is terrible. Like, it's one of the easiest games I've ever played, especially considering older games tended to be harder. This one is really easy; it's almost impossible to lose here.

And I really didn't like it, not even to pick it up once in a while and play a game.

Having said all that, my rating is: 1 star.

Actually read the manual and it kinda clicks; the buttons on the d-pad correspond to the bases you’re throwing/running to. It’s more playable than most 8-bit baseball I’ve tried, but like every early baseball game the computer plays flawlessly. I’d like to try this one multiplayer.

it's staggering how much I suck at this game. I'm so bad at it that I dont even know if its fair for me to rate it, I feel like it should rate ME instead. maybe this game is just a reflection of who I truly am....

The only baseball game I think I have ever played. Enough for a lifetime
