Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball on SNES is one of those mid-90s sports games that actually holds up. Yeah, it's got the Big Hurt himself on the cover, but what surprised me was how smooth the gameplay feels—fielding isn't a total mess like some baseball games from that era. The sprites are chunky but detailed, and the pitching mechanics actually require some thought instead of just mashing buttons.

First thing you'll notice? The batting camera angle is weirdly satisfying—it zooms in just enough to make you feel like you're really tracking the ball. And the crowd noise? Surprisingly decent for a 16-bit game. Not gonna lie, the AI can be a little predictable once you figure out their patterns, but there's something oddly addictive about grinding through a full season with the White Sox roster.

Definitely one of the better baseball titles on the SNES, especially if you're into that era's sports games.
