I set the record straight on RBI Baseball on ESPN Radio

[boatofcar]

I usually listen to ESPN Radio late at night on weekends. The host, Bobby V, gives out links of the day, and one was a recreation of the 1986 World Series Bill Buckner play using RBI Basball. However, he said the game was by Tecmo. I emailed him and set the record straight. Since I'm that loser who tapes his voice said on radio, I thought I'd also be the loser who posts it online. :) Unfortunately, Garageband decided to cut about half of the response out, but you get the gist.

At least now everybody knows the difference between Tengen and Tecmo :)

Oh, and the actual link he was referring to is here (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/11/1986-world-series-re-enacted-in-rbi-baseball/).

And for more RBI Baseball fun, check out this month's issue of Retrogaming Times Monthly (http://my.stratos.net/~hewston95/RTM/RTM_Home.htm) as the NES version was the Tengen game I reviewed this time around! *plug* LOL

Listening in on V. Show as I type. Sadly, my nerdyness also picked up on the fact that RBI Baseball wasn't made by Tecmo, if he would have said Atari or Nintendo I would have let it slide, but he was probably thinking that it was developed by the same peeople that had the sucsessful fully-licensed football game Tecmo Bowl. At least he was right that it was one of the first baseball games to include a full license.

And they just corrected themselves. Congrats for getting it changed boatofcar.

And no, I haven't forgiven you, Buckner. (Though you should have been pulled for the bottom of the 10th anyways.)
