Bases Loaded

"Bases Loaded" is the first game in a long running baseball series by Jaleco, spanning sequels over several systems. In contrast to its direct competitor "R.B.I. Baseball" the characters felt more "realistic" and the camera is behind the pitcher instead as behind the batter as was the usual standard. The fielding doesn't change the standard formula. "Bases Loaded" plays well enough and features quite good speech samples. So I consider it to be a worthwhile baseball game. All in all I had more fun with R.B.I. Baseball though.

Bases Loaded is a baseball game with an arcade feel and plenty of options from which players can choose. Select one of 12 teams, set your lineup from the 30 players available (each with different strengths), then play a single game or try to win the pennant. During game play, the screen shows two different viewpoints: one from behind home plate as you're batting, and the other from the pitching mound in a television-style shot (unique for its time) as your team plays in the field. Strong play control and excellent graphics add to the excitement as you decide what pitch to throw (you can even try to provoke the opposing batter into charging the mound), control all positions on the field, or do your best to get a hit. So step to the plate and find out why this is one of the most popular baseball games on the NES. Can you pull through in the clutch?
