Summary

Sports Talk Baseball (known in Japan as Pro Yakyuu Super League '91) packs an official MLBPA license and follows most Major League rules, but it throws in a mercy rule that ends the game once a team leads by ten runs. You can jump straight into an exhibition, grind through a regular season, or chase the All‑Star and playoff modes, and it was one of the first baseball titles to give each pitcher a distinct hitting rating.

The game’s hidden gem is Howard Johnson of the Mets, who can dominate both at the plate and on the bases while swapping between infield and outfield positions. Rosters were refreshed for the 1992 season, and the All‑Star line‑ups are fully editable, letting you stack multiple copies of a favorite player. It even differentiates batting stances and includes quirky submarine‑style pitchers for extra flavor.

Sega’s Sports Talk speech synthesis provides live commentary, recorded by announcer Lon Simmons and built on the same voice bank used in Joe Montana II. The Japanese version swaps the commentary for a drum‑heavy soundtrack and a techno‑remixed umpire chant, displays names in hiragana, and hides advanced stats until the final box score. As a fun Easter egg, a black‑and‑white Sonic the Hedgehog billboard flashes when you hit the ball far enough.
