While I'm pretty sure that game was bad, that is a great commercial.

[Grooveraider]

It really wasn't bad at all. I still have my copy :)

Don't think that has to do with anything, just a 2nd attempt by Sega to try to force it's 1st-gen sports CRAP down our throats. Weren't these titles originally released at a low price, like $20-$30 or something???

[Grooveraider]

They weren't forcing the 1st gen sports crap on us as you say. I believe Japan Mega Drive only had two baseball games in the year 1989. The second one being a modem baseball game which was released exclusively for Japan.

I've been an avid Tommy Lasorda Baseball player (yes you read that correctly) since 2001, despite having played the game back in the early '90's. I like it's simplicity (and hate it's difficult controls). Yes, Sega did indeed repackage it's (mediocre) Japanese sports titles for the U.S with player endorsements and not very much else. Hilarious. Did these titles even sell well???

[Grooveraider]

I enjoyed TLB at the time of its U.S. release in '89. Before that, I was an avid Bases Loaded player on the 8-bit NES. But then the Neo Geo came out and released Baseball Stars Professional. Then came Baseball Stars 2 -- I was hooked. Nowadays, companies make craploads of Baseball games I could give a rat's ass. The classics were the best !

God bless the late 80's/early 90's.

Won two World Series titles; managed the gold medal winning US Olympic baseball team in 2000; won 1599 games as a manager.

You're an idiot who obviously knows nothing about baseball.

Now this is a baseball game. And agreed, aside from the also excellent Joe Montana Football, the rest of the first-gen sports games like Buster Douglas Boxing and Pat Riley Basketball were just shit. But better games in those categories came a few years later on the Genesis. PLAY BALL!

Ain't over till it's over.

My mom once accidentally stole this from Dufferin Game Room, we lived so far away from it that we never returned it or payed for it.
