A virtual version of America's favorite pastime, World Class Baseball is made up of thirteen pseudo baseball teams with names such as the Bangkok Buddhas and the Chicago Winds. Each team is rated by statistics such as batting average, speed, and won/lost record. You can play against a friend or the computer in single game action. Or, if you want to hit the big time, you can enter a pennant race wherein you must defeat all of the computer-controlled teams, eventually facing the world champion Turbo Tigers. If you are too tired to actually push the buttons that make the players move, you can watch the computer play itself.

As with most 16-bit baseball games, World Class Baseball includes pinch hitting, picking off runners, changing pitchers, running the bases, fielding, and of course, batting, which includes bunts.
