Good writeup from Jon Bois at SB Nation looking back at the Nintendo classic. I never played as much RBI Baseball as I did Bases Loaded and especially Baseball Stars — I played a TON of Baseball Stars, since it was the first Nintendo game I knew of where you could actually create players and manage rosters and stuff like that. How come only that game could save data?

As I seem to recall, it could save data only until that inevitable time when it didn’t save the data for some reason, leaving you completely crestfallen upon discovering that your team was lost the next time you turned on the game.
I still play Baseball Stars. My favorite baseball video game of all time.
When isn’t it?
When it is.
So it wasn’t just me… I spent hours of my life in that game. The 8 bit song still randomly pops into my head now and again.
Honestly helped breed my love of the game.
RBI Baseball was the greatest game ever made. Ever. I’ll never forget the sound of the change up…
