About

Tecmo Super Baseball is a professional baseball video game that was released in 1994 for the Super NES and Sega Genesis gaming systems. It features all 28 MLB teams that existed at the time. However, the only license the game has is the MLBPA license. This means that while the game does feature actual players, there are no team names or logos. The teams wear uniforms without logos and are only named by their city (the teams that share the cities of Chicago and New York are separated by having either an A or N after their name, denoting their league).

The main menu theme is a cover of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".

Reception

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Super Famicom version of the game a 23 out of 40. GamePro called it "a statistics-filled gaming experience that also generates some real excitement." They complimented the large number of options, the high degree of control over the game, and the rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", though they felt that most of the game's music was mediocre.
