Bases Loaded II (NES Game)


This game should have been called "Fielding Impossible" because it's the worst example of 8-bit defensive baseball ineptitude I've seen. The 1962 Mets had better fielding than this game provides. The whole thing is an unholy mess. The game doesn't look that bad in the pitching and batting screen. The animations of the batter are a little choppy, but it's not terrible. Once the ball goes into play, the camera shifts to a shot of the field, but it's taken from either the first or third baseline (depending on where the ball is hit) which is completely disorienting. Also, the graphics for the fielders are much worse than those of the pitcher and batter. They're tiny, choppy, and don't move to the ball worth crap. There isn't much more about this game that needs to be said. The game is bad and the people who made it should feel bad. Final score:
