Bases Loaded (known as Moero!! Pro Yakyuu in Japan) is a staple of the NES sports library. Developed by Jaleco, it was famous for its unique 'TV-style' perspective from behind the pitcher, providing a more realistic feel to the duel between pitcher and batter. The game features 12 fictional teams and a full 132-game season mode. Known for its speech synthesis (like the umpire calling 'Strike!') and the ability to charge the mound after a hit-by-pitch, Bases Loaded offers a gritty, realistic 8-bit take on the national pastime.
