Ah Eikou no Koshien brings to the arcade board the mystique of the Koshien high school baseball tournament, an event that in Japan stirs passions comparable to a World Cup. The offering is what you'd expect from a sports game of the era: full matches, simple stats, and the direct satisfaction of bat meeting ball.
Since it never left Japan, it's a title practically unknown outside its home market, but it documents well how much amateur baseball weighed in 90s Japanese arcade culture.
