OK, so let's start a look at another sport: Baseball! And let's start with the evolution of these games on the grandfather of all consoles, the Atari 2600...

I played the Odyssey2 baseball in my younger days. Liked it back then but it seems to show its age now. Homerun on the Atari 2600 is about the same way.

I think the price is reasonable on-line. Just not sure how well built they are and if the price is enough to justify for the few games that would use the controllers. Same thing for the Coleco steering wheel.

The Lynx games look good.
Maybe it is just me, but every game I have played on the Sega Master, that had the word Great in the title has not been all that great of a game.

Frank Thomas was actually supposed to come out on the Jag and was apparently near enough finished.

And we continue to be tortured to learn about titles that never made it to the Jaguar that were supposed to be coming for it.Â

I have Bases Loaded '96, Bottom of the Ninth, Frank Thomas Big Hurt, Grand Slam and World Series Baseball. Sadly I do not know which ones were not to be ported to the Jaguar. :78:
Like Laird, World Series Baseball is might favorite followed by Grand Slam and Bases Loaded '96.

The sports game that was to show how inferior the Atari 2600 was compared to the Intellivision.
Only thing was I played Super Challenge Baseball more on the 2600. Same game as Major League Baseball. Less buttons to press. Same fun.

If you look you will notice that all the Japanese games go for the cartoony look while the western games go for realism, shows a big difference in what different markets want from their games.
