"Cyber Stadium Series: Base Wars" (commonly shortened to "Base Wars" or "BaseWars")cite web|url= http://cheats.ign.com/objects/012/012502.html|title= Cyber Stadium Series: BaseWars|accessdate= 2008-01-05|publisher= IGN] is a futuristically-themed sports game, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System on June 1st, 1991. ["Retro Review of "Base Wars"," "Game Informer" 174 (October 2007): 134.] Set in a 24th century wherein baseball team owners have grown tired of paying outrageous player salaries, they decide to replace their rosters with robots.cite web|url= http://www.mobygames.com/game/base-wars-cyber-stadium-series|title= Base Wars - Cyber Stadium Series for NES|accessdate= 2008-01-05|publisher= MobyGames]

Gameplay

While maintaining basic baseball elements of pitching, batting, fielding, and base running, "Base Wars" adds a fighting element to the game featuring four robot classes; a traditional cyborg, a tank, a flybot, and lastly a mycycle. A player's robots can be upgraded with new and advanced weaponry and repaired with money earned for game wins during tournaments.

Fighting

While fighting is a rare occurrence in traditional baseball, fights are an integral part of the game in "Base Wars". Fights occur when a base runner is tagged out; and tag-outs are made much more common because there are no force-outs in Base Wars. The fights between the runner and the robot tagging him are fought from the side-view. The result of the fight determines whether the runner is safe or out. A robot that has lost too many fights in one game will die by exploding and leave its team with one less robot. Three robot deaths on a team result in a forfeit, thus a player can win a "Base Wars" game by fighting alone.
