Gekitotsu Pennant Race

Gekitotsu Pennant Race Overview

Compiled by · Editorial standards · Published

Gekitotsu Pennant Race is a baseball simulation that came out for the MSX 2 computer platform, most likely in Japan sometime during the late 1980s. The exact developer and publisher aren't well documented in commonly available sources, which is typical for many Japanese MSX titles that never saw a Western release. It's an official commercial release, not a hack or homebrew, and it belongs to the sports genre that was the mainstay of the era's computer gaming alongside action and platformers.

How to Play Gekitotsu Pennant Race Online

When you start the game you'll probably see a title screen with Japanese text, then a menu for single-player or two-player mode. Use the D-pad to navigate and the A button (X key) to confirm selections. Since menus are in Japanese, you might need to experiment a bit. The main loop is playing through innings: you pitch, the opponent bats, then you bat. The goal is to score more runs than the other team over nine innings.
