Frank Thomas' Big Hurt Baseball

The game includes regular season and exhibition modes. It was noted for featuring realistic pitching and batting for its era, as well as a realistic likeness of Frank Thomas himself. Pitching and batting can be done either in a high, medium, or low direction (in addition to slow, medium, or fast pitching) for greater realism. Particular emphasis was placed on defense and pitching, as opposed to more offense-oriented baseball video games like World Series Baseball '95 .

Games often take place at night, especially at Wrigley Field . Games can be played to a minimum of two innings and a maximum of nine innings (plus any extra innings that occur in a tied game). All the teams in the game can be edited through a special edit screen; this allows players to replace teams that they do not like with their home towns that do not have Major League Baseball teams. More than 700 players with Major League Baseball contracts appeared in the game.
