Man, Great Baseball on the Sega Master System takes me back. It’s got that classic arcade baseball feel—simple controls, chunky pixels, and that satisfying thwack when you nail a fastball. The fielders move like they’re stuck in molasses sometimes, but that just adds to the chaos when you’re trying to stretch a single into a double.

Pitching’s basic—fastball or curve—but timing your swing actually matters, which is rare for an 8-bit sports game. I always went for the power hitter, even though half the time I’d sky it straight to the outfield. And yeah, the AI isn’t exactly a genius (bunt spam works way too well), but there’s something weirdly charming about how janky the runner animations are when they round third.

It’s not deep, but for a quick game with a friend? Still holds up better than it has any right to.
