World Series Baseball '95 on the Sega Genesis was one of those games that made you feel like you were actually calling the shots from the dugout. The pitching mechanics were surprisingly deep—you could really mess with batters by mixing up fastballs and curves. And the fielding? Way smoother than most baseball games at the time, even if diving for a line drive still felt like a gamble.

What I loved was how the AI actually adjusted. If you kept throwing inside pitches, the CPU would start sitting on them. The rosters were a fun time capsule too—no fancy licensing, so you got creative names like "B. Bonds" instead of the real deal. Still, the gameplay held up, especially in two-player mode where trash talk was mandatory.

It’s not the prettiest baseball sim now, but back then, this was as close as you got to the majors without leaving your couch.
