Synopsis

Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '88 is the third in Namco's Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium series. Like its immediate predecessor, Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '87, it is a slightly revamped version of the original with updated rosters. As with modern practice, Namco released these games every year with little distinction with each new iteration. Unlike previous versions, you now have four stages to choose from. Besides the size of the stadium, the presence of wind and the turf available in the stadium affect elements of the game. The concept of "strong players" was also introduced in this version. Two players from the starting lineup are randomly chosen to have their stats increase more than usual. During the seventh round, the “Lucky 7” effect occurs and all players receive an upgraded status. The team edit feature first appears in this game (edited teams would disappear when the console's power was turned off as no battery backup was included). Although it is the second sequel to Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium, released in the United States by Tengen as R.B.I. Baseball, Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium '88 should not be confused with R.B.I. Baseball 3. Although the first R.B.I. Baseball was a direct localization, subsequently R.B.I. The baseball games were created in the United States and are entirely independent of Namco's Family Stadium series.
