Play Cyber Stadium Series - Base Wars Online

Konami released Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It was a strange and ambitious title in an era when developers were willing to experiment with established formulas, even on a console known more for straightforward action and platforming games.

You control a team of robotic baseball players, and the main objective is to win games by outscoring your opponent. The signature mechanics are the automated base running, which removes some player control, and the combat sequences that trigger whenever a play at a base is close; these fights replace umpire calls and are resolved with weapons like missiles and lasers. The pacing is methodical, with the sudden shift to combat breaking up the traditional baseball rhythm, and the difficulty can spike during these frantic encounters. It feels like playing two different, slightly awkward games that somehow fit together.
