There aren't many sports games that we have enjoyed over the years. Not being fans of real sports, we have understandably little interest in simulating them in a video game (although that argument doesn't really track for all gametypes-- we enjoy Duck Hunt without caring to hunt real ducks, etc.)
Like everyone else, we enjoy Wii Sports, but before that we've generally shied away from team-sporting games-- except for Culture Brain's Super Baseball Simulator 1.000, which is so delightfully idiosyncratic that it got even our attention. Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 is the Super NES sequel to a very similar NES game called Baseball Simulator 1.000. Really, we'd love to play either on the Wii, but we have more personal memories of the SNES game, so that's the one we'll discuss in this column.
