What Bad News Baseball is
Bad News Baseball is a puzzle game developed by Tecmo and released in 1989. It is available on Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Although the game lacked a season mode, it allowed a single player to work his/her way through all of the opposing teams in a somewhat cohesive manner. The player would play a game until the other player was defeated-the games could go on indefinitely until that occurs. The game kept track of what teams had been defeated by giving the player a password at the end of each victory, which could be entered into the game to return to the spot where the player was. The game also kept track of the pitcher's stamina, which meant that some rotation was necessary throughout the different games.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are kids. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player.
