Super Baseball

In this game Atari improved on Home Run, their previous baseball-themed game for the 2600 platform, by including a baseball diamond, fly-balls, throwing of the ball by fielders to tag the opposing player out, and other traditional features of the sport of baseball. Players are able to use the joystick to select the kind of swing the batter will make, with bunts, grounders, and fly-balls all possible. The 2600 and 5200 versions of the game features four variations of play, with the player able to select between single-play and two-player and between the batter being able to strike any ball or only being able to hit balls from within the strike zone. The Atari 5200 version featured the voice of an electronic announcer calling the plays.

The game was part of a series of games released under the RealSports title for the Atari 2600, including RealSports Football, RealSports Volleyball, and RealSports Soccer. The series was conceived as an answer to Mattel Electronics's aggressive marketing campaign fronted by George Plimpton, in which they compared the graphically and gameplay-wise dated Atari 2600 sports games, including Atari's 1978 baseball game Home Run, to their more advanced Intellivision counterparts.

A version with "Voice Controller" support, an unreleased voice command device for the 2600, was announced at the 1983 Summer Consumer Electronics Show with a 1983 release date. In this version the pitching, the batting, and the fielding utilized the regular joystick, and the voice commands could be only used to throw the ball to the bases.

A review of the original RealSports Baseball in the August 1983 issue of Electronic Games magazine praised the game, comparing it positively to Home Run, saying that "thanks to RealSports Baseball, Atari 2600 owners finally have a game they can love". A review of the 2600 version in the August-September 1983 issue of Vidiot magazine was critical of the game, describing the game as "lots better than Home Run, but not much more real". The 1984 Book of Atari Software described RealSports Baseball for the 2600 platform as "not the best baseball game" but "very playable" and "not a disappointing cartridge at all", and gave the game an overall score of "B". A review in the January 1984 edition of Video and Computer Gaming Illustrated wrote that the game gives players a chance to play strategically. In March 1984 the staff and writers of Video and Computer Gaming Illustrated also awarded the game their Vista prize in the category Best 2600 Sports, an accolade it shared jointly with Super Challenge Baseball.

The 5200 version was positively reviewed by Bill Kunkel in Electronic Games magazine in a May 1984 review, describing the game as "definitely a hit". A July 1984 review of baseball games in the same publication praised especially the improved controls and sound-effects of RealSports Baseball for the 5200. The 5200 version also won the Computer Entertainer (also known as Video Game Update) 1983 award in the Best Sports Game category jointly with Star League Baseball. The 2600 version received a Certificate of Merit in the Best Sports Videogame category at the 1984 Arkie Awards, while the 5200 version received one at the 1985 Arkie Awards.

The intellectual property rights for the game passed to Hasbro Interactive and were subsequently bought by Infogrames in 2001, which was subsequently re-named Atari SA. The 2600 version of the game was re-released by Infogrames on the 2005 Atari Anthology. It was then subsequently re-released for the Atari Flashback 3 in 2011, which was the first console of the Flashback series made by the AtGames company. As of 2021, the game has been included on all subsequent Flashback consoles, including the Flashback 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and X.
