Baseball Simulator 1.000 (1989). Play online

Summary

Baseball Simulator 1.000 turned the NES into a sandbox for wacky baseball, letting you pick either a regular team or an “ultra” squad that can unleash super‑charged hitting and pitching moves. Each ultra action burns a limited pool of points, and you can invest those points in permanent upgrades for outfielders or batters that stay active without further cost.

Three main modes keep the action fresh: an exhibition, a season that can stretch from five to 165 games, and a team‑edit screen where you build custom rosters or mash together normal and ultra teams. During a season a “magic number” tells the division leader how many wins remain needed for an uncontestable pennant, and the league crowns the division champion directly—there are no playoffs to worry about.

The game earned Electronic Gaming Monthly’s “Best Sports‑Themed Video Game” award in 1989, and later 1up.com listed it as an NES hidden gem, noting its blend of traditional stats and over‑the‑top abilities makes it one of the system’s most memorable baseball experiences.
