98 Kōshien

Part of a long-running franchise dedicated to Japan's legendary national high school baseball tournament, '98 Kōshien (released in 1998 by Magical Company) is a simulation-heavy sports title. While the series is known for its deep recruitment and training mechanics, this specific edition gained international internet fame decades after its release for its unintentionally hilarious and robust edit mode. The game allows you to choose from over 4,000 high schools across Japan, managing everything from team uniforms and school hymns to the specific training regimens of your players. However, it is the pitching editor that remains its most legendary feature, allowing for physics-defying "windups" that have become the stuff of gaming legend.
