    #1  -  Baseball Stars - But one store salesman said they stopped making
                            it.
    #2  -  Bases Loaded II 
    #3  -  Bases Loaded I 
    #4  -  Major League Baseball
    
    
    Theses are of the ones I've played.
    
    FWIW

    Definitely Baseball Stars is #1, the game has a battery backup that
    allows you to create and save your team(s) as you play, I have tried
    most of the other available games available prior to this past summer
    and this game wins hands down.
    

    
    
     BASEBALL STARS........THE BEST
    
     But I too have heard they stopped making it 
    
    
      
    

    My 10 year old sons' opinion follows;
    
    I've played Bad News Bears Baseball and I think it's one of the
    top baseball games.

    Have anybody play R.B.I. 2 the second season, I think that's the
    best baseball game for nintendo, that's only my opinion.

    I would rent the game 1st. I rented it ( no instructions )
    a couple of days ago. Without the instructions you cannot
    make intelligent decisions on player selection batting order etc..
    
    As far a play action goes. I found it really tough to bat,
    the field of view is from behind the pitcher, judging where 
    the ball was tough. ( I striked out most of the time )

    Can anyone tell me what baseball game is the best.  There are so many
    out now.  When I had the NES (before all my games were stolen), I had
    Baseball Stars.  It was EXCELLENT.  Now I have the SNES and Super
    Bases Loaded which is also excellent.  
    
    I want to buy a baseball game for my nephews.  I want the game with the
    best graphics.  They're only 6 and 8 years old so having infinite ways
    to modify your players isn't important.   All they want to play on the
    Super Nintendo is baseball.  I never thought any game would take them
    away from Super Mario World.  I bought Bases Loaded II for the NES
    for them and tried it out.  It SUCKED!!!!   The fielders looked like
    little blobs, not like men.  I returned it and bought Bo Jackson
    Baseball.  It is MUCH better than Bases Loaded II.   I haven't been
    able to find Baseball Stars.  Why did they stop selling it if it is
    so good?
    
    Has anyone played Bo Jackson?  Are there any better baseball games out
    there for the NES?   How's Roger Clemens?   Bases Loaded III ?
    
    Thanks, Pam

Cause SNK put it onto their 32 bit Neo Geo System.  To play Baseball Stars
now, you only have to shell out about $600 for the system, and another $150
for the game.


I personally like the play of RBI baseball as do (does?) my nephews and 
nieces.  Graphics aren't great, but play is good.  Baseball Stars in the
best though.  Even just play wise.

    Nintendo is notorious for making limited production runs of their
    games.

    
    
    		I have Baseball Stars and after checking out the
    		others they just don't compare. I also have simulator
    		1000, it's ok if you want to change of pace. You have
    		different powers. A pitcher who throws a fast ball can
    		not be hit cause it burns right through you bat. Then you
    		can throw a pitch that stops for 2 seconds before it
                reaches the batter causing him to swing early and so on.
    		I tried the new Roger Clemons baseball, it's ok for the
    		graphics. You can not beat the computer. It also doesn't
    		store the stats. It has a feature where you can ask Roger
    		for help but he keeps giving the same advice! I feel this
    		game isn't worth the $50.

    Baseball Stars is the best Hands down, no contest.... The abilty to
    make teams, It keeps stats for league play, the power up capability,
    etc. etc..
    
     I this game rates as my all time Favorite....

    Anyone try the Roger Clemens Baseball yet?  The gimmick on this one is
    "over the shoulder fielding" according to the sales literature.

    I've been dying to try it. I havn't found it anywhere to rent yet
    though.....

    Ok I found Roger Clemens BAseball to rent. I played it last night.
    I like a lot of the features of this game. One big problem..
    
    
    
    HOW DO YOU HIT??? I'm having bigtime problems swinging fast enough to 
    hit the fastball..
    
    Has anyone else played this?
    
    
    thanx,
    
    Jeff

    
    
          I PLAYED FOR ABOUT 4 HRS....
    
         What I did was think every pitch is a fastball and I swang as soon
    as he lets the ball go. I still lost every game though. I didn't like
    it. The graphics are really no better than BL or RBI. 
    
             I did like the names for the players though. Yankee 1b
    Donningly, 2b Clarinet, Ha I was roaring.

    
    
    The Red Sox roster is
    
    Reedie
    Wader
    Redwell
    Clack 
    Tomansky
    River
    
    I'm keeping the game for the weekend to see if I can get used to it....

    I rented it, didn't care much for it.  Had the same problem with
    hitting.  I did like the fielding perspective.  Baseball Stars
    is still the best in my opinion.   
    
    Anyone happen to play a new game called Classic Basebal stars or 
    something along those lines.  Supposed to be all the all time 
    greats?  Say it and thought I'd ask before I disappointed like 
    from Clemens.
    
    Dan

    
    
          Yeah baseball stars is still the best. I love being able to watch
    Donbo's stats go up or down. :-)

    Brought Clemens back to the Video store....I got a little better...
    Only lost 4-3 vs. 34-2 etc.......... Still can't hit though...
    Now to try Bo's baseball game...

    In scanning all the notes on baseball-related games, BASEBALL STARS by
    SNK seems to generate the greatest number of favorable responses, so
    I tried to find one to give to my nephew as a Christmas gift.
    
    I was unable to locate it (apparently it's no longer in production),
    but I came across a game called BASEBALL STARS 2, manufactured by a
    company called Romstar (or Ramstar?) Nothing on the packaging indicates
    any connection to SNK, and only gives a passing reference to the
    original version: "if you liked Baseball Stars, you'll love BASEBALL
    STARS 2 (tm)..." or something to that effect. There isn't even an
    acknowledgement such as "Baseball Stars is a registered trademark of
    SNK".
    
    What's bugging me is whether or not this is truly an enhanced version of 
    the original, or whether Ramstar (Romstar) is taking advantage of some
    copyright loophole with the original BS. 
    
    Is anyone familiar with this 'new' game and able to clear up my
    confusion?
    
    Thanks in advance.
