Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball on SNES is one of those weird, fun baseball games that doesn’t have official MLB licenses but still manages to feel like the real thing—just with goofy fake names. You’ll recognize the players anyway—like "M. Bash" and "J. Bash" for Oakland’s power hitters or "R. Nolan" for Texas’ flame-throwing ace. Stats are based on the 1991 season, so it’s got that old-school baseball vibe.

What makes it stand out is the fielding view—instead of the usual top-down angle, it shifts to an outfield perspective once the ball’s in play, which feels way more immersive (and a little disorienting at first). Controls take some getting used to, but once you figure it out, pitching feels sharp, especially when you’re racking up strikeouts with Clemens himself. There’s a full 33-game season mode with playoffs, and if you’re struggling, Clemens pops up with tips—which is either helpful or just a weird flex, depending on how you look at it.

It’s not the smoothest baseball game out there, but it’s got charm, and the two-player mode is a blast if you’ve got a buddy who doesn’t mind learning the quirks. Definitely a hidden gem for SNES sports fans.
