Just a couple new items in the collection this week: Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball for Genesis, and the real prize, a big box copy of Microsoft Baseball 2000, sealed, with a freakin’ branded mousepad included. Awesome stuff. Now, for weeks of toying around trying to get this running in a virtual machine so I can record it. Ah, the joys of retro PC gaming.
A new English-language Power Pros game has taken the next step towards reality, as Konami trademarked eBaseball: Power Pros in Japan, presumably part of the title of the next game. They had already announced an English-language Power Pros game tied to the World Baseball Classic was in the making.
I want to get back into the space of dumb baseball video game speedruns, but I’ve been stuck for a while deciding which one to try. I saw this recent new world record for Bad News Baseball which makes speedrunning look so easy. May give that a shot and do it on real hardware just to have a certain very specific kind of record.
