Baseball (1982) – Emerson Arcadia 2001 Sports Game by UA Limited & Emerson Radio

Baseball is a classic sports video game developed by UA Limited and published by Emerson Radio Corp., released in 1982 for the Emerson Arcadia 2001 home console.

As one of the few baseball titles available on second-generation systems, it aimed to capture the essential excitement of the sport in a digital format that was accessible to early home gamers.

Designed for single or two-player gameplay, Baseball on the Arcadia 2001 features simplified controls and mechanics to reflect the hardware limitations of the time. Players can pitch, bat, and field in a streamlined version of the sport, focusing on timing and reaction rather than complex strategy. While it does not feature real teams or players, the game delivers a functional and enjoyable approximation of a nine-inning baseball match.

Baseball was a key part of the Arcadia 2001's attempt to offer a more diverse game library beyond space shooters and arcade-inspired titles. It brought one of America’s most iconic sports into the living room, helping broaden the appeal of video gaming during the early 1980s.

Today, Baseball is of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of early sports video games. It stands as a snapshot of how developers translated real-world sports into simple yet entertaining experiences during the formative years of console gaming.
