Play Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball Online
You pick teams of mostly fake players (except Cal, obviously), swing for the fences with chunky Genesis-era hitting, and chase down fly balls that always seem to hang just long enough. It’s pure early ‘90s baseball—nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball on the Sega Genesis is exactly what it sounds like—a no-frills, early '90s baseball sim with a few quirks. You get 16 standard teams, plus two bonus ones (All-Stars and MVPs), but oddly, Cal Ripken is the only real-life player in the whole game. The rest are just generic players with made-up names.
It plays like most baseball games from that era—simple pitching mechanics, arcade-style hitting, and fielding that’s just forgiving enough to keep things moving. The graphics are decent for the time, though don’t expect any flashy animations. If you’re nostalgic for old-school baseball games, this one’s a solid pick, but it’s definitely more of a time capsule than a hidden gem.
