About This Game

Bo Jackson Baseball puts players in control of a digital baseball experience built around several competitive formats, from casual exhibition matches to intense playoff runs and rapid CPU-controlled contests. While the game employs authentic city locations as home bases for its teams, licensing constraints forced the creation of entirely fictional franchises and rosters. The player names, though invented rather than officially licensed, incorporate playful references and parodies that nod to recognizable figures from the sport's real-world landscape.
