The Majors Pro Baseball
SCORE: 91
The coolest thing about playing retro
video games is you never know when you will find the next gem. Take The
Majors Pro Baseball for example. I have played plenty of sports games on
the Game Gear that have not impressed me. I took The Majors Pro Baseball
out of the pile knowing nothing about it. I honestly thought here comes
another horrible hand held sports video game. That was my expectation
based on prior experiences. The Majors Pro Baseball impressed me
immediately. I was shocked this is a hand held video game. The Majors
Pro Baseball would be a great game on an Evercade cartridge compilation.
Some nice music greeted me when I started playing The Majors Pro
Baseball on the Game Gear. I went through the options of one player, vs
play, or editing. I looked over the pennant continue, exhibition or
pennant start. I checked out the nice array of baseball teams from the
1992 era. I got to choose teams, then how many innings, and from three
stadiums. The three stadiums is where The Majors Pro Baseball is
lacking.
Once I got into the baseball game I was shocked to see some pretty large
player models in The Majors Pro Baseball. The fielding screen has
smaller characters and the controls are not perfect there. The batting
and the pitching are fantastic in The Majors Pro Baseball. I was able to
quickly figure out how to bat and pitch in The Majors Pro Baseball. I
got hits immediately playing The Majors Pro Baseball. I got strike outs
in The Majors Pro Baseball as well. I lost a three inning game by one
run. I was able to win later in other games.
The Majors Pro Baseball looks good, sounds good, and plays pretty good.
The fielding does take some getting used to. We can move around multiple
players at the same time instead of whichever player is closer to the
ball. One little quibble over a hand held baseball video game is really
good. I am also comparing The Majors Pro Baseball to other baseball
games on the Game Gear that disappointed me greatly. This is a Game Gear
game to check out.
