Amazing post. Thanks for this. I'll be using this very soon.

 

[distantmantra]

Niiice. I'm sure I know someone who still has this game.

 

[Outtrigger888]

I have 3 games for my SNES
Super Mario world
A link to the past
And ken Griffey Jr.

Played recently with my brother and the games holds up damn well.

 

[IrishNinja]

Play Windjammers, #IDARB, and/or Videoball

And Madden '92, NHL '95, Fight Night, Punch-out, Mario Soccer and Golf, NFL Blitz, Daytona USA, No Mercy, Super Dodgeball, NBA Jam...

all this, and Mutant League too

 

[gnomed]

How do we get this far without mentioning NHL '94? Tecmo Superbowl?

Also, I'd still take Baseball Stars over Griffey any day of the week.

Hell hath no fury...

Sega World Series Baseball or RBI Baseball still best for me. But Ken Griffey still good.

 

[Thabass]

You didn't truly play Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball on the SNES without this. These would make the drunken version EVEN BETTER.

YES! I used to play with this too. But it sucked.

 

[Get'sMad]

never understood why people liked Winning Run better than this

GOAT SNES sports game

all hitting dingers with Tom Verlaine and Johnny Thunders on the Mets

 

[Scrotum Phillips]

The running in to the wall animation is pretty superb as well, https://youtu.be/IE6-P0cyibA

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Are those fingers or millimeters OP?

Gonna be dead by the 3rd inning.

Small swigs/generous sips will do. Consider the rules as guidelines. Feel free to reduce/increase/swap the amount of intake per rule. You can add/exclude rules, play a 5 inning game etc.

In general though if you and your opponent know how to play you'll be fine with one full game.

SNES and 64 versions were played so much by us growing up. Love it!

 

[Outtrigger888]

Fun fact: the developers of the N64 Ken Griffey games went on to make red dead redemption

 

[piratepwnsninja]

YES! I used to play with this too. But it sucked.

Oh, it was definitely terrible.

 

[night814]

But what about basewars


Also, this game is outstanding

 

[Talladega Knight]

I prefer Winning Run.

90s dance vibe.

This fills me with so much nostalgia. I loved this time in videogames.

 

[Brunire]

Awesome stuff! I would add a 3-5 drink bonus for robbing an HR.

 

[daTRUballin]

It also blows my mind that Rare developed Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run.

Completely forgot about that.

Haha yeah. Rare developed pretty much everything under the sun back then.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

I'm going to be honest, the lack of licensed MLB players turned me off even as a kid.

I played a lot more Tecmo Super Baseball and then the GOAT of baseball games pre-The Show, World Series Baseball '98, than any of the Griffey games.

 

[World SkiFree]

And Madden '92, NHL '95, Fight Night, Punch-out, Mario Soccer and Golf, NFL Blitz, Daytona USA, No Mercy, Super Dodgeball, NBA Jam...

And Super Spike V'ball in the NES. Always Super Spike V'ball. Also Beach Spikers on the GC.

It also blows my mind that Rare developed Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run.

Completely forgot about that.

Tried so hard to like Winning Run but it pales in comparison to the original Ken Griffey. Also liked the N64 version. MVP NCAA Baseball also ranks high on my short list of great console baseball games.

Bruh, I thought I was the only one who loved that game.

You are absolutely correct.

 

[Instro]

Oh come on!

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

A few months later, wonder if anyone played this and lived to tell the tale?

I played with my brother and cousin. Playing 1v1 was getting ugly fast (especially with a semi-low tolerance), so after one game we switched to passing the controller back and forth vs the computer. Modified the rules a bit but it worked out nicely and was very fun.

Still greatest baseball game of all-time.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run was better.

Glad ya had fun.

Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run was better than most baseball games, except for this one.

Yeah, agreed.
