Pro Baseball 89

The pitching and batting feel surprisingly tight for a cartoony-looking game, and the fielding actually flows better than I expected in the C64 World Series style. It's got that arcade charm but still rewards real timing at the plate.

The fielding actually works—no more watching my outfielder glide past a routine fly ball like it's on ice. Pitching has enough variety to keep me guessing, and the C64-style simulation depth is a pleasant surprise behind that goofy cover art.

The fielding controls are surprisingly responsive for an older game, and the cartoony cover had me worried it'd be too simple. I’ve been playing it for hours and the batting timing feels just right. It’s a solid baseball sim for the PC Engine.
