    What was the snes game where you could make the guys have super abilities like hit a ball that would actually be a rocket and if a defender tried to grab it they would get dragged to the wall? Or the pitcher would throw a ball and it would fly back and forth like a big s.

    I played a lot of that game. That’s where I learned what a magic number was.

    I remember, but don't know the name. Didn't play much cause I didn't like all those special abilities etc. I was a purist even back then.

    Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 if it's the same one I'm thinking of. Your outfielders you could jump 5 miles high, hit line drives that would carry every fielder all the way to the wall, etc. It was a blast too.

    BASEBALL SIMULATOR 1000

    The pinner was a batter power called missile I believe, it took out whatever fielder it hit.

    My favorite was iron ball. No matter how hard you hit it, it just dumped to the ground and died. Talk about hits/9!

    I don't think he meant it in a bad way man, back in the day is different depending on how old you are. For me that's Atari 2600 - my daughter would snes/maybe GameCube.

    This is why I love The Show 2020.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2yS68TP6dQ

    Let.em know.. My 1st system was coleco vision.. I used to think Tony LaRussas baseball was ahead of its time. Sports Talk baseball was reallynthe jumping off point for me.The Show 19 and ego is why I decided to get a PS4.. Show nails the game imo while taking into.consideration its a baseball game and a game point blank that doesnt require the youngbucks who still cant wipe their [censored] right to drop mad loot to compete..Look at Madden and 2k..They dont even drop content a 3rd of what SDS does with the show..They want to complain about perfect perfect w/ no launch angle and wonder why they didnt hit a hr. Also getting squeezed bybtrash umps..Wide an NorthSouth friendly umps out there as well.Love realistic fun competitve baseball games like I love baseball and theYanks as well.. Great post.. Yo another flashback. I was the whiteowl head out the crew in the era of dutchies as we talked about.Anyway was mad hype when the grape whiteowls hitnthe market.At least BK wise. Gotta be around 96.. Glaciers of Ice and Illmatic was def getting bumped in my Sony sportsman big yellow jump.off. 🤣

    Little League World Series: Championship Series on NES is still one of the best Baseball games I've played.

    Remember how nasty Chinese Tai pe was?? Bunch of fast asians with some short fat ramen bowl power hitters?? Lol Gameplay was no joke and smooth.Especially for then!!!

    Hardball 3 ( or 4? Forget) Loved it. They got the dynamics of spin off the bat correct, maybe the first ones to do so. Seeing a opposite field single curve off the bat and dive into the grass was a huge deal.

    I had had Tino Martinez at first, Edgar Martinez at 3rd and they were both “glitches” in the game. Bat them 3/4 and profit.

    I must have put 1000 hours into baseball stars. One of the first games to track season stats. Winning games and upgrading your players stats was addictive, and I play the show all these years later for many of the same reasons. Beating the Lovely Ladies 500 times to earn upgrade points is the clear spiritual ancestor of Conquest mode.

    Look out for the World Powers tho!

    Hahahaha beating the lovely ladies 500 times with two controllers and having their pitcher bean you 13 times!! Haha that was the original baseball grind
