BASEBALL STARS 2

cant hit dingers like i used to i had a home copy of this and i do not remember it being this difficult. i dont know, but my guess is i have not gotten worse but the game has gotten more difficult, with time to reflect on itself. at this point i am not even having fun, just in a personal feud with a computer program that is ticking me off: -base running is a nightmare. i am pretty sure the computer player keeps hacking my gamepad -good luck in the outfield! you dont get'ta see NADA as the camera laughs, but better believe the cpu is gonna catch everything in the outfield. their eyes are programed to see what the player dont. UNFAIR. +great game, cool sounds and pxl grfx -i wish there was a batting practice mode +/-the neo geo pocket version sucks +no online, so children are safe from baseball weirdos

Fine port works well and really simple. I prefer backyard over this one though.

A fun af circa 1990 baseball game. In fact, it's the best of the lot from the era. While I hadn't played this in years, it was a hell of a lot of fun to revisit. The only negative is that I wish it had a save feature, as games can go quite long.

Even at full price, this is less than the cumulative total of quarters I’d begged my parents for as a kid just to keep playing.

Baseball Stars 2, developed by SNK Corporation in collaboration with Dotemu and published by SNK, is a vibrant and unapologetically old-school baseball experience that captures the wild spirit of arcade sports gaming from the early 1990s. Originally released on the Neo Geo arcade system, this re-release on Steam preserves everything that made the original such a standout while adding just enough polish to make it accessible to modern players. It’s a game built around spectacle and energy rather than realism, offering exaggerated animations, booming sound effects, and lightning-fast matches that feel more like intense brawls than orderly baseball simulations. Even decades after its debut, its over-the-top presentation and straightforward mechanics retain a certain timeless charm that speaks to the era of arcade dominance. From the first pitch, Baseball Stars 2 throws players into the action without hesitation. The gameplay is simple to learn but demands precision and timing to master. Pitchers have access to an array of moves—from fastballs and curveballs to special power pitches—while batters must anticipate each throw and time their swings perfectly to make solid contact.
