Reception

[edit]

According to Famitsu, Super Bases Loaded sold 179,281 copies during its lifetime in Japan.[15] The Japanese publication Micom BASIC Magazine ranked the game fourth in popularity in its August 1991 issue.[16]

Super Bases Loaded received mixed reviews from critics.[5][6][8][9] David Upchurch of ACE praised the gameplay but was critical of the graphics and sound.[4] Ashley Summers of Raze considered the baseball players to be realistically drawn and animated, but wrote that the crowd "looks like mush". Summers praised the music, but criticized the "muffled and repetitive" dialogue.[7] Chris Rice of N-Force praised the gameplay and sound effects, but concluded that it was a "good game let down by poor graphics and an unfinished look!".[10]
