Reggie Jackson Baseball (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Whiteboard
Publisher: Sega of America
Released: 1989

Reggie Jackson Baseball is a sports game that was released as American Baseball outside of the United States.

+ Plays a fun and intuitive game of baseball, and the Home Run derby is useful for working on your swing timing.

+ Pitchers have unique throwing styles and having to adjust to a sidearm reliever is mind-blowing for an 8-bit game.

+ Great graphics, cute animations (e.g. team brawls!), speech clips are clear, and there's even multiple camera angles.

+ Beaming with presentational flair, with on-screen cheerleaders, umpires and bullpen squads bringing the game to life.

+ Watch mode allows you to sit back and enjoy the action, while having the option to take control at any time.

- Manually guiding outfielders suffers from a narrow camera view, and you can't control pitchers on infield plays.

- Computer A.I. makes very strange fielding decisions, and the umpire base calls are sometimes highly questionable.
