The Bo Jackson Game Boy game pictured has some of the worst graphics I've ever seen in a game. Pitching a perfect game in the baseball game is also ridiculously easy. Just line the pitcher up on the far side of the mound and pitch a fastball to the opposite side of the plate. Strike every time, batter swings and misses every time. I won't blame Bo, though. You should mention that he's now a really good cook, among other things. Posted February 28, 2008 |
