Last week, I looked at what I thought was the first Jaleco sports collection, featuring a pair of 8- and 16-bit soccer games from back in 1980s and 90s. As it turns out, the same people who just put out the Goal! compilation also released a similar set for Bases Loaded back in April. With no Nintendo Classics to talk about yet again, I wanted to take a trip back in time and cover those baseball games I missed a few months ago, including both Bases Loaded on the Nintendo Entertainment System, as well as Super Bases Loaded on the Super NES. Those are definitely Jaleco sports games, but are they actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Game Player, Video Games & Computer Entertainment, Super Play and more classic magazines that reviewed these games when they first came out. Get ready to round those bases and aim for the rafters, but not necessarily in that order, because it’s time for another episode of Jaleco Sports Review Crew!
