World Series Baseball '98 is one of those classic Sega Genesis baseball games that still holds up if you're into old-school sports sims. It's got all the MLB teams and players from the '97 season, so you can relive those Griffey Jr. home runs or Maddux pitching duels with that satisfying 16-bit crunch.

The controls take a minute to get used to—batting feels a little stiff at first, but once you figure out the timing, you’ll be smashing line drives into the outfield. Fielding’s where it shines though, with smooth animations for diving catches and double plays. Just don’t expect modern graphics; this is pure nostalgia with those chunky player sprites and that iconic Sega soundfont blasting the crowd noise.

If you’ve got a Genesis lying around, it’s a solid pick for a quick game of baseball without all the bloat of newer titles.
