Bases Loaded (1988) by Jaleco was one of the NES's most popular baseball games — a title that rivaled even Nintendo's own Baseball and RBI Baseball for dominance on the console. The game was notable for its behind-the-pitcher camera angle (unusual for the era), individual player stats, and a pennant race mode that kept kids playing all summer. Jaleco — a Japanese publisher with a solid NES catalog — struck gold with this franchise, which spawned three sequels on the NES alone. For a generation of gamers, Bases Loaded was THE baseball game. No MLB license needed — the gameplay spoke for itself.
