Nintendo Red Tent VS. RBI BASEBALL Video Review - OMGWTFBBQ!

Listen, I was a huge video game baseball fan back in the day. I had RBI Baseball, Baseball Stars, and Nintendo's Baseball game. At the end of the day?!? Baseball Stars ruled them ALL. But, still, RBI Baseball was cool!

Check out the Nintendo Vs. version here!:

I agree Baseball Stars was the best (I enjoyed creating the roster of the current Cardinals at the time), but yeah RBI Baseball is the tits as well.
 
Nice review. What do you think of Bad News Baseball for the NES?

I don't think I ever played that one. Nor do I remember that artwork!

The other game I do remember and didn't mention in my video was the LJN baseball. They had the MLB Team license, but not the players, and it BLEW.

Very nice John!

Baseball Simulator 1.000 was my favorite NES baseball game. It was completely customizable, so we entered whole team rosters and played season after season after season.

I'm not sure I remember playing that one. It seems vaguely familiar. Could it save your season!?

To me, nothing will ever beat Baseball Stars and my 1989 Yankees team I created on it. :)

Yeah, you could save your season and it would play games in real-time. The only real issue, which we thought was awesome, would be that every stat was hugely exaggerated. Rickey Henderson would have 209 steals, etc. I guess it's like that with any video baseball game though, if you're good enough.
 
Tecmo Baseball was the first videogame I ever owned. My brother owned the Atari 2600 before that, but the NES was mine! ;) I used my b-day money to buy an NES and Tecmo Baseball. Played the hell out of that thing.

Oh, wait. I did play that game. That's the game were you just sit back and watch it play? Yeah, I hated that game. :)

I do recall playing Tecmo Baseball, but to me it was forgettable. :)

Yeah, I never understood those games! I remember having Earl Weaver baseball for my Atari computer. Same thing. LAME.

No, no, no... You'd play YOUR OWN games for the team you chose, but the computer played the other games for you in the season. So, we were always Oakland and we played every Oakland game, but the computer would play Baltimore vs. New York, etc.

Oh! That makes more sense. But I want to play all of my games! :)

It probably was forgettable to most but to a 7 year old kid who didn't know any better it was the greatest thing ever! Apart from Mario Bros/Duck Hunt that came with the NES, it was the only other game I owned for over a year. :)

You know, that's the thing about these games! Some of the greatest games are that great to us cause back then we didn't have EVERY game. We would get a game or two a year and play the HELL out of them!
 
Haha I know. I remember a friend of mine had 20 NES games. He was officially the coolest kid in school just because of that. Even back then that was around $500 worth of games if not more and none of us could believe it.

Today it isn't uncommon for some of the poor kids to have 30+ games :)
 
I like John's reviews because he's HONEST! RBI is kind of wack, but yeah, we all played the shit out of it. Haha.

What was that baseball game with the spring controller? It was like a little metal stick or something. That was one of those games that seemed to everywhere but I never bothered to play it more than a handful of times.
