Play Hardball 95 Online
You hold a direction to pitch, then watch the batter swing—when you nail a fastball, the crack of the bat just hits different. Fielding’s got weight to it, with dives and stretches that actually feel like you’re making the play.
Hardball 95 came out for the Sega Genesis in 1995, developed by Accolade. It was part of that wave of mid-90s sports titles trying to push the hardware a bit further, offering a more involved baseball experience than some of the simpler arcade-style games that came before it.
You control the pitcher and fielders, working to outscore the opponent over nine innings. The pitching interface requires you to select a type and location, then time your release for maximum speed or break. Fielding involves diving for liners and stretching for throws at first, with a noticeable physicality to the player movements. The game moves at a deliberate pace, and mistakes on defense are costly, making each hit ball tense. It feels solid and responsive when you connect with a pitch or make a tough play in the field.
