R.B.I. Baseball

One of the first console baseball games to include real MLB players. The players were super deformed and had no likeness to the real players other than their stats and their names.

R.B.I. Baseball features a license from the Major League Baseball Players' Association, allowing it to have real baseball players on the roster. However, due to a lack of the core MLB license, the game doesn't contain real teams, referring to all of them by city name only.
 
Despite having actual MLB players' names (although sometimes truncated), each character looked exactly the same (e.g., there weren't any black players, everyone was the same height, etc.).  The only visual differences among the players was whether they were right- or left-handed, and if pitchers threw overhand or submarine-style. Performance characteristics among the players were present however, with batting average, power, and even running speed distinctions between individual players being reflected in the game.
