Play Bo Jackson 2 Games in 1 - Hit and Run! Online

I picked up Bo Jackson 2 Games in 1 - Hit and Run! for the Game Boy back in 1991, a THQ release that tried to capture the two-sport energy of its namesake on Nintendo's handheld. It was a time when portable sports games were often stripped down, but this one offered a full baseball and football experience in one cartridge, which felt ambitious for the hardware.

You control Bo Jackson through two separate games: a baseball mode where you hit and run bases, and a football mode where you dodge or stiff-arm defenders. The main goal is straightforward: score runs or touchdowns while avoiding outs and tackles. Signature mechanics include switching between batting and baserunning with a button press, and in football, building up speed to break through the defensive line. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably as you advance. It feels satisfying to pull off a long run or a well-timed hit, even with the simple graphics.
