The appeal of real baseball players made RBI Baseball for the NES a hit. The best players from the mid 1980s were in the game with their real life stats and abilities. Now they didn't look like their normal selves, but Nolan Ryan threw fire and Vince Coleman was a monster on the basepaths. This game was the reason many early sports games would have the players license but not the league license necessarily. All we cared about were stars and this game let you use your real life knowledge of baseball to dominate. The best of seven series against a buddy only helped make this game an instant classic.
