ALL Sega Genesis Baseball Games Ranked (Retro Sunday) 

Great game

I thought TLB had an MLB license...Mandella effect?

@@mattm7798It has real cities. The teams don't have names though, they just have a logo. The logos and colors for the teams are similar to the MLB teams but not the real thing. The rosters are made up players.

Me too

Hardball was one of the first PC games I'd ever played alongside Leisure Suit Larry, solid series of baseball games. Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

I really enjoyed the triple play series and it comes just behind the world series ones. I was big on sim type games, and even though I enjoyed sports talks but it was a fun game to pick up and play but ranks behind the others for me. I am bigger on sim vs arcade type

@@Ozzie314 Nothing wrong with that! We all have our preferred playstyle, afterall.

Appreciate the comment and the gameplay tip. Ya, Tecmo surprised me, they didn't make the best Hockey game but they did a solid job with their baseball title. Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

World Series Baseball 98 was the 7th last game to see the light of day on the Genesis so that'd make sense. I would have been playing PS1 at my friends house and bugging my mom for an N64 by this time :D

I was still playing my Sega Genesis during 1998. The next gen of gaming (Sega Saturn and Playstation) didn't start in America till later in 1995 and I was a late adopter to the new consoles since my family didn't want to buy a new console (parents had tons of money, but they were cheap. LOL), so I kept playing my Sega Genesis (and I picked up a new Sega CD for only $40 and a new 32X for only $20 since both of those were on clearance sales by 1997). I got my first job during summer of 1998 at a high class golf course (super easy job with some very high tippers giving me $100 bills for very little work) and bought myself a brand new Nintendo 64 during August and a used Sega Saturn during October 1998 (the Sega Saturn was already dead at that point, but I still wanted it. I'm happy I got it since I got all it's rare games at the time for dirty cheap. For example, I picked up a brand new copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for only $35 during October 1998. That game is worth thousands of dollars now). However, once stores near me stopped carrying Sega Saturn games by early 1999 I eventually got a Playstation 1 during mid 1999. Anyway, Despite owning the newer consoles, I kept playing Sega Genesis (used game stores near me still had copies of used Sega Genesis games till about 2001. After that they stopped carrying them and that's when I gave the Genesis a break. I still play it at least once a year in recent years. World Series Baseball 98 was one of my Sega Genesis games when it first released and it was fun.

Facts

Big Hurt played well and looked amazing, could have been worse I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

Surprisingly Big Hurt Baseball looks better on Genesis/MD than it does on SNES in my opinion.

I agree.

Coach of the Oakland A's during the '80s & 90 Smash Brothers era (Canseco and McGwire, Ricky Henderson). He went on to coach the St Louis Cardinals in the 2000s.

100% agree. This, Sports Talk football 93, Madden 97, Coach K NCAA basketball, DreamTeam USA basketball, and NBA Live 97 were my childhood sports titles. Hundreds upon hundreds of hours spent playing just those. Now, I play no sports titles. Sports games were just so much better back n the day

Absolutely

@@saymojaymo4025all facts.. I loved all of those games you mentioned

💯

agree. I loved Roger Clemens baseball. I have fond memories playing against my friends. It had a cool feature where if the play was close at base- it would be zoomed in and you had to choose which way to slide/which way to tag.

Iono, I thought RBI 2 and 3 were really good for the NES.

RBI 2/3 are the best for NES World Series baseball for Genesis

love to hear opinions that's the beauty of these lists, is that one you owned personally or what do ya like about it vs other Genesis baseball games? Thanks for watching and commenting :D

@@RetroSunday it was definitely nostalgia when half my little league team would be crowded around my friends downstairs TV with no shirts on cause we just got swimming in the pool at his house after practice 5th/6th grade. Tommy Lasordas blew our minds since it was still in 89, great fond times

I agree. I remember having a lot of fun with that game. Similar to RBI Baseball for Nintendo it was a good game to play against someone else. I feel like a lot of the later baseball games had stiff controls and slow gameplay.

lol you're not alone it confused me for a second also :)

Sports talk was ahead of its time

5:31

Sport talk baseball

Just a couple of MLBPA fan boys over here :D Cool channel, subbed I'll check it out this weekend when I have more time. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@RetroSunday same! Sounds good 👍

My assumption was capacitor, especially because one of the versions had a leaking one but I appreciate the info! Can you explain to me "Trace Routing" for Sega Genesis games and how to fix them so I could try myself sometime if this problem appears again? Thanks for watching and commenting :D

@@RetroSunday there are two failures of genesis carts one is with the vias(the metal rings connecting a trace from one side to the other) on tengen carts. You need to check continuity to all pins from each trace to each chip and to each via to make sure all are connected. I fixed one by scraping the blue solder resist(coating) off the via and running a cap leg through. Another main failure in any cart is that the roms actually have protection diodes inside them to protect voltages and when they die the cart won’t work. There is a video on RU-vid showing the fix of addding resistors to the lines. Let me know if you ever fix one!

@@threwanade I used to work at a video game store and learned a lot about bringing controllers, consoles and games back to life but I've never been aware of these methods you've mentioned until now so I very much appreciate the info. When you say "run a cap leg through" you mean poke a capacitor leg through the hole just for cleaning purposes? Also, when I get some time this off season (December or so) I'll go through some non-working carts and make a video, I'll be sure to message you when it comes out or if you sub with notifications on you'll be notified when it's live. Thanks again, have a good rest of your week! :D

Me too. I infamously did not like the first person view mode for some reason so always played it from the fielding level and loved it. The fact it must have had a battery save because the players stats would change from at bat to at bat, even after turning off and on the genesis. Tons of hours in that game.

Genesis baseball games with brawling? Not that I'm aware, no Super High Impact or Mutant League baseball-like games so I'd say no. Just did a football ranked list with 38 games, definitely contact in those games lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

@@RetroSunday thanks for responding! I was wondering if like a team gets plunked too many times the teams will leave their bunches and fight as sometimes happens in real games

​@@BryanTruongRBI baseball 93 would have a little brawl cutscene if you hit a team once too often

@@taysb2220 thanks! I'll check that out

I don’t think so. I had all those games at one time or another and don’t recall any fighting.

it is lol, remixed by Iceferno.

@@RetroSunday appropriate….i wonder if Kieth Hernandez spits (allegedly) on virtual fans Newman and Kramer in this game 😂😂😂😂

Reggie Jackson Baseball was on the Sega Master System, not the Genesis.

Sorry, I owned both systems 35 years ago, and probably 2/3s of all those games. They sort of blend into one another

Tripple play was that right after RBI

lol I think I needed another 45 seconds to 1 min of music so I went with the "Seinfeld Theme" rendition from Iceferno I believe. Nice catch :D
