10 Best Baseball Video Games Of All Time

5. Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest

Before the word slugfest was associated with minotaurs playing baseball, it had to do with Ken Griffey Jr., one of baseball's greats and part of the 2016 Hall of Fame class.

Back in 1999 baseball games were nothing like they are now, obviously due to how much video games have evolved since then. Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest really didn't have all that much in it. It featured an exhibition mode, a season mode and a Home Run Derby mode and that's about it. Those three modes, however, were more than enough to keep you occupied and entertained. The season mode allowed for the trading of players and even tracked stats throughout the season. All things that are expected now, but incredible additions back then.

Slugfest, at the time, had one of the more unique hitting mechanics to grace a baseball game. Instead of simply timing the pitch and swinging, players had to move a "sweet spot" over where the pitch was coming as well as time the swing. The better the hitter, then the bigger the 'sweet spot," with Ken Griffey Jr. having one of the biggest "sweet spots" in the game to no one's surprise. Players could also switch the controls to simply timing the pitch which allowed for players of all skills to be able to play and have fun with the game.

To this day baseball fans still go back to this game for nine innings. Even if the graphics, rosters and more are outdated, it was a memorable and fun experience that is still enjoyable to play almost 20 years later, and no one will ever forget the insane voice over for the umpire.
