Baseball, published by Epoch and released on July 30, 1981, is one of the original sports titles for the Cassette Vision, Japan’s early home video game console.
As one of the first baseball games available for a domestic gaming system, it represents a significant piece of video game history and the early rise of sports simulations in the home market.
Designed with the technical limitations of the time, Baseball offers a simplified but engaging version of the sport, providing players with essential pitching, batting, and fielding mechanics. Despite its minimalist visuals and sound, it captured the core excitement of baseball for early '80s gamers, making it a popular entry in the Cassette Vision's limited library.
The game supports single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing users to play against the system or compete head-to-head. The controls are basic yet functional, taking advantage of the Cassette Vision’s built-in knobs and buttons, offering a hands-on and tactile gameplay experience.
