Reggie Jackson Baseball

A nice alternative to the deceptively titled Great Baseball, Reggie Jackson Baseball has solid, intuitive controls, an authentic looking behind-the-batter viewpoint, and a number of graphical enhancements, such as cheerleaders, animated umpires, and close-ups of plays at home plate. Once the ball is hit, the action switches to an overhead view where the fielders are too small and the ball is a little tricky to catch (thanks to an inaccurate shadow). Also, the computer AI is less than brilliant, there's no MLB license, and the music can quickly become annoying. Still, this is a solid simulation and an apparent template for Tommy Lasorda Baseball for the Genesis.
