This game could have made the finals for its smooth gameplay alone, but it had so many other features that were impressive for its time. It had a MLB license and incorporated real teams. Perhaps even more excitingly, it had the actual stadiums they played in. This allowed for Home Run Derby’s (another huge feature) at any ballpark you wanted, including Fenway, Rigley and Camden Yard.
The graphics aren’t as realistic as some other names on the list, but they were still great for 1994 and had a distinct video game quality to them rather than going for intense realism.
