The North American localization of 1987’s ''[[Moero!! Pro Yakyuu]]. '''Bases Loaded''''' found an enormous audience with its glorious 8-bit audiovisual quality.

== Description ==
''Bases Loaded'' benefitted from a little extra time in the oven for the localization, receiving fixes for some infamous glitches that give ''Moero!! Pro Yakyuu'' a reputation as a popular but ramshackle mess of a game (famously, the most powerful players in the game can bunt a home run). 

This game began the ''Bases Loaded'' series that would receive three sequels on NES and more entries on Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation. 

Ports of the game would later release on Game Boy (1990), Wii (2008), Wii U, and 3DS (both 2014). A PlayStation 4 port of ''Bases Loaded'' was announced but never released (the remake of its Japanese version ''Moero!! Pro Yakyuu'' did release for PS4 in that region only). 

== Roster ==
''Bases Loaded'' features a fully fictional league of 12 teams filled with fictional mononym players like PASTE and MOYER.
