There’s probably no reason for anyone to play Nolan Ryan’s Baseball in 2014.

I’m about the furthest thing from an expert in baseball or baseball video games, as previous write-ups here have shown. But I’m not sure what Nolan Ryan’s Baseball offer to a modern video game player.

My immediate impression of the game is that most aspects of the gameplay seem more difficult than other Super Nintendo baseball games. But people who want a technical, realistic baseball game today aren’t going to be interested in a game in 1992 which lacks real MLB teams and players from the era. And people who want arcade-style baseball games like Super Bases Loaded or Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 won’t be happy either.

Unless you played this game “way back when” or are such a connoisseur of the baseball simulation genre that what little I’ve written here is appealing, you should probably try a different game. I can’t say this is a bad or poorly made game, just an uninteresting one.

Tomorrow: You’ll have a blast with Super Scope 6 and Nintendo’s Super Scope accessory!
