Triple Play Gold (often known as Triple Play: Gold Edition) is a 1996 baseball game developed by Extended Play Productions and published by EA Sports exclusively for the Sega Genesis. Serving as the refined final entry of the franchise on Sega’s 16-bit hardware, it brings the 1996 MLB season to the console with updated rosters, enhanced artificial intelligence, and smoother on-field action. With 28 custom stadiums and the ability to draft, trade, and create your own players, it offers a deep and rewarding sports simulation.
How to Play
Your objective is to manage your baseball team to victory by outscoring your opponent across nine innings. On the Sega Genesis, use the D-pad to aim pitches, position your batter, and move fielders. The A, B, and C buttons handle pitching styles, swinging, throwing to bases, and running, while Start pauses the action. In your web browser, these controls map to the arrow keys for directional movement, Z, X, and C for the main action buttons, and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Try the new Pro Mode if you are looking for a higher-difficulty challenge that requires precise timing and smarter pitch selection.
- Take advantage of the extensive roster management tools—use player trades and the draft to build a customized powerhouse team that fits your playstyle.
- Keep an eye on pitcher stamina; leaving an exhausted pitcher on the mound will make it much easier for the opposing team to score runs.
