After weeks of anticipation, fans of the Pirates, Royals, Phillies, Tigers, WhiteSox, Indians, Orioles, Brewers, Expos, and Twins can finally see what it would have been like if there favorite team had been included in the ARCADE version of RBI.
Use the Hall of Famers you never could like Bob Feller, Roberto Clemente, Jim Palmer, Robin Yount, Steve Carlton and many others.
See some of your Favorite NES RBIers in their top form, like George Brett (Actually left-handed), pitch with the real Tim Burke.
Bat with Ty Cobb against Satchel Paige and see if the racial slurs fly.
Any input will be accepted, anything from how did you leave this guy off, or why is this guy so slow, or why did you use those colors.
I am really looking forward to this. I will get some games in this evening. Christmas can wait!
Good, I'm glad someone else besides me plans on playing it.
Forgot one line of hype:
Other RBI Era players that you always wanted to use like Steve Balboni, Rob Deer, and Bo Jackson (all PHs)
Steve Balboni, well done ultimate! I'll give her a test later today and report back. Will also get it on the ROMs page, but keep bugging me about it until I do...
Just had to take some time out from work to try this new ROM. I played the Phils versus the Pirates, two of my favorite teams when I was growing up. It was fantastic! I think I got Honus Wagner out every time, but I couldn't stop Mad Dog Madlock for the life of me. Richie Hebner came off the bench for a clutch hit, and Al Oliver and Roberto Clemente got some big hits as well. Had to smile when I saw the mighty Von Hayes playing first base (I used to wear a Phils cap when I started playing softball and I got that nickname until I put on a few pounds from the beer). The Candy Man Candelaria ate me up for the first couple of innings. I touched up Tekelve for a few dingers. I went big yard with Luzinski. Bowa hits like crap, just like in real life. Tug McGraw got lit up, no 1980 World Series heroics this time. Carlton's slider is nasty. You know your lineup is potent when Barry Bonds bats 6th; he has the early career speed as well. Garry Maddox on the bench had some big stats, I'd forgotten about his career year. Damn, this was a good time.
I'll play more teams later, but for now, I saw no problems with these two teams. Outstanding work, ultimate, I really enjoyed it.
Everyone, you've got to try this!

My love affair for fat mustachioed men continues... I hope he has the highest power rating in the new league.

Glad you like it. I also wasn't aware that Maddox had a .330 season, I knew he was a great CF, it was between him and Matthews for that last roster spot and I decided to give it to Maddox.

Bump for Gantry to add to the ROMs page and for others that haven't seen it.
Another Bump for those of you just getting back from vacations and for Gantry to post to the site.
Version is now updated with a few minor updates
-Battey has 25 HR, typo with 2
-Lance Parrish name to show Parrsh instead of Parris
-Jack Morris adjusted to reflect better than NES version
-Quisberry adjusted to reflect better stamina
-Billy Pierce adjusted to reflect better Fastball
Everything pretty minor but here is the Update Version
Thanks for the bump ultimate, a front page update is coming today and I'll add this ROM
