Description

Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium brings professional-style baseball to the Famicom with teams competing through nine innings of pitching, batting and fielding. Every game can turn on one well-timed swing, a smart pitching change or a perfectly placed defensive play.

Published by Taito for the Japanese Famicom, the game combines accessible baseball controls with team management and season-oriented competition. Players take direct control during at-bats and defensive situations while colourful sprites and lively presentation keep the pace energetic. It became the foundation for a long-running series of Harikiri Stadium baseball titles.
