I do feel a LOT better.
And it helps that Biker Mice from Mars is a very decent racer.
It's lacking in the combat being balanced and there's no sense of speed, but as a 16-bit, isometric Excitebike spiritual sequel? It works and is a rousing success. The definition of "sleeper"

+ Charming. Potentially fun combat mechanics.
- Potential ruined by unbelievably spongy enemies.
And you can throw your hat too.
Spike McFang seems fine. Another one of those free-agent type of games that @evercaderetro might want to track-down for a cart.

+ Nothing.
- Boring gameplay. Horrible collision detection. Poor shading makes judging angles/distance for isometric platforming hard. Total lack of direction.
I slew a troll.
I don't want to say there's nothing here, because there's something compelling about the concept, but it gets old fast, and the collision and movement just frustrates.
HOLY CRAP GIANT BAT MONSTER NOW YOU'RE TAL..
oh.
One hit and it died, huh?
Yikes.
Ken Griffey Jr. presents Major League Baseball
Developed by Software Creations

Verdict: NO Pile
Thread: https://t.co/9GdA0Eik7U
+ Decent batting mechanics. I guess.
- Horrible base-running. Unintuitive fielding. No MLBPA license. Exaggerated, cartoony look.
I wonder if this was a dig at the "open secret?" How ironic is it that Ken Griffey Jr presents Major League Baseball, a game starring the best player NOT on steroids of an era, is filled with players so roided out of their minds that their testicles are the size of ball bearings?
So how does it play?
On one hand, it's clearly a better game than any baseball titles on the NES (and I played them all during #IGCvNES).
On the other hand, it is quite mediocre. Griffey apparently personally disliked it, which was why a new developer was tapped for the sequel.
