A realistic-looking early baseball game on the Genesis that is now a cheap cart.
Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball was published by Mindscape in 1992, developed by Acme Interactive, and is a port of the home-computer game TV Sports: Baseball. The Genesis cartridge is the one this page covers; the Super NES had its own version.
Electronic Games in 1993 noted that the teams and players are not the real ones, but said the graphics were among the most realistic ever seen and counted it among the more impressive name-game baseball titles.
How the Sega Genesis version differs
Electronic Games called the Genesis cart a polished Tommy Lasorda Baseball that broke no new ground, though it improved on that game's setup options.
The game is a port of the home-computer TV Sports: Baseball, and lacks MLB licensing, so only Cal Ripken Jr. himself is a real player.

Super Nintendo
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle, near the cheaper end. A complete copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
