Baseball (1977)

Baseball (1978)
Baseball, aka Home Run, is an early, extremely crude attempt at video baseball for the Atari 2600. Players control a single fielder or three fielders moving in unison. They cannot throw the ball, and there are no fly balls to catch, but tagging players out is ridiculously easy. Two-player games between competent gamers usually end in a zero to zero tie, and the computer is very easy to beat. Pitching, on the other hand, is nicely executed as players can throw curves, fastballs, screwballs, or change-ups in a fairly convincing manner. Home runs, strangely enough, are scored only by hitting the ball directly over second base.

Baseball (1982)
The Arcadia 2001 is a second-generation 8-bit console released by Emerson Radio Corp. The game library was composed of 51 unique games. Baseball 2001 is a passable rendition of America's pastime.

When a ball is hit to an infielder, the batter is automatically out. When a ball is hit into the outfield, the perspective switches to an odd close-up angle of the nearest outfielder, who can run right and left to try and catch the ball. The baseball players are stick figures, and they make a terrible grating sound when running on or off the field.

Bases Loaded Bases Loaded featured a unique television-style depiction of the pitcher-batter matchup, as well as strong play control and a relatively high degree of realism, which made it one of the most popular baseball games of the early NES era. One unique feature of the game is that the pitcher can provoke a batter to charge the mound. While Jaleco did hire Ryne Sandberg for an endorsement with Bases Loaded 3, this installment of the game did not feature real teams or players. More unpopular with players, however, was the somewhat bizarre premise that "playing a perfect game", not winning a pennant, was the game's ultimate goal.
