We should've made Karl Mecklenburg play some RBI even though we didn't do the tournament.

I'd do my best to attend, I'd be coming from Nebraska. The Omaha tournament has a strong group of regulars who are good players and might be interested. Several of them travel in from out of state. Sadly we weren't able to host RBI along with Tecmo Bowl in 2025, just didn't have anyone to run it this year and Tecmo took priority. Considering trying to do something in 2026 so at the very least I don't want to step on any toes, keep us posted.

We play with only 1 starter and 2 relievers per game. Makes the games more intense at the end and no more 18 inning games. We ran those rules also at Omaha last year. We also do infield fly rule only allowed one base runner out. Tournament style we do coin flips with winner calling matchup and loser getting first pick of team.

Hello. We have a very active online league and have also been talking about having a tourney in Chicago! If you are on discord we are on the Tecmo super bowl page at the bottom.

So far it is going well. Between help from Gantry, COTUT and a couple of other people that emailed or texted me, I feel good about it. In the meantime, you should DM me. We are looking to do a Chicago meet up and play amongst the locals this month. A few people in the group even have the arcade version. DM me if interested in playing too.

RBI Baseball / FamSta translated (romanized) ...
Last post by ProfessorW - 09/30/25, 02:10:38 PM
Hi, I share in this post a translated version of Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium, AKA FamSta 86, with RBI Data and translated. I hope to share future translations of other FamSta games. Already working the 88 version, probably at 95%, still in testing phase.

Some differences with RBI Baseball:
1) Although there are 10 teams, one of them, Namco Stars, uses a different newspaper ending either when losing or winning. So, I left that team, and merged American and National teams into one: Major League.
2) The team letters only use 1 letter at demo screen, and during game. While using 2 letters in scoreboards, selecting and in newspaper. This can be a bit confusing.
3) The player's names are only 4 letters, so I had to adapt, sorry for the mixing of upper and lowercase.
4) The attendance change colors according to the teams playing.
5) I used patches to improve (IMO) the look of the uniform, and to allow 2P pause. They were taken from this site: http://www.ttttom.website/Mayuemp/Famista/Patch/Patch.html

Hope you enjoy it.

It was less "great pitching" than "man, we swing at EVERYTHING" - we weren't throwing THAT much slop, either, just couldn't make decent contact.

Ryno is my favorite player of all time, so it made me very happy that I managed a dinger with him. Rickey is TERRIFYING on the bases, too - I need to double-check but I think he might be faster than Coleman in the original.

What an awesome game! 1990 Rickey Henderson is the best leadoff hitter in the entire game, such amazing stats bestowed upon the 1990 AL MVP. Ryno and Kevin Mitchell are such amazing hitters and looking at the OP of this thread, it really does remind me that most of the best teams in RBI 3 reside in the National League...

29 Ks though! Wow, that must've been some great pitching! I honestly am suspect to whiffing a lot too, so I wouldn't really have been any better pfft.

I live in Chicago and may attend.  I have a buddy with whom I always play, but if I am going to participate in any kind of competitive play, I am going to need to "unlearn" some "gentleman's rules" that we play by.  Specifically, we honor infield fly, only allow one starting pitching until the game has gone over 9 innings AND both relievers have been used, and also there's no "manipulate the bases to sneak a guy over to second when there's a runner on first and third."  I think the last one is something that can be prevented, but since I never have faced it, I would need to learn. Also, I almost always play as Houston, which is clearly suicide in a tournament.

Will I work on this?  Probably not...but the more this is discussed, the more the chances increase.

Ken, at this point I don't have any current contact info for Beales, but hopefully you can find him via FB or another social network. He hasn't been on the forums in quite some time and I'm socialmedialess, Firefox says that isn't a word but it should be.
