5.0 out of 5 stars If you like baseball, it's worth owning an NES just to play this game., July 28, 2007

By	David L. Farquhar (St. Louis, Missouri (USA)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game was revolutionary when it came out for adding role-playing elements to an arcade-style baseball game. It's almost 20 years old now and the graphics and sound won't impress anyone now, but still just as much fun as it was then. You can build up your players, release them, sign free agents, make trades, and earn money, adding a whole new dimension that hadn't been seen in the countless other baseball games written for the NES and other computers and consoles of the time.

I can still sit down and play this game for hours, just like my cousin and I did back in 1989. When I've had a hard day at work, this game is one of my favorite ways to unwind. For all I know it's permanently stuck in my NES because I haven't played any other cartridge in it all summer.

Most sports titles are worthless once the new version comes out. This one still sells for about as much as a Mario or Zelda title, and that pretty much says it all. Others tried, but no other baseball game for the NES ever really topped this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Baseball Video Game of All Time, September 16, 2008

By	voiceoverthewall.com (United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Let me repeat...This is the greatest baseball video game of all time. The create a team feature of this game blows away anything I have ever played since. It is so much fun to manage a team fo players that you named after your friends and family (or whatever you want).

Its a shame that Baseball Stars 2 on the PSP is somewhat different.
