  • Introductions
    • The less spoken of Tecmo game
  • Overview
  • Gameplay
    • The best teams in the game are St. Louis and Minnesota, the two teams that played each other in the 1987 World Series.
    • DH Rule
      • Use, Not Use
    • Batting
      • The view
      • Some balls you just can’t hit
    • Fight - between innings on the scoreboard
    • I feel powerless playing this game. This is a simulator of how I would actually perform in the MLB.
    • Watch mode
  • Sequels and Spinoffs
    • Tecmo Super Baseball - SNES
      • A game that is very advanced for it’s time. I was blown away by some of the features, but there are so many obtuse decisions that it actually seems like they knew Tecmo Baseball was a tough game to play and doubled down on it for the SNES.
