What company made RBI Baseball?
Short Answer – RBI Baseball was made by Tengen. Long Answer – Things are a bit tricky to figure things out, but here’s how I think it went – RBI was originally made by Namco as a Japanese arcade game. Namco is the company that brought you Pac Man, Pole Position and Galaga. Namco eventualy bought out half of the US company Atari Games, who broke off from the Atari we all know and love sometime in the 80s. After Namco and Atari Games were in partnership, an arcade version of RBI Baseball was released in the states, based almost entirely on the code from the Japanese verion. Tengen, the console (aka non-arcade) division of Atari Games, ported the arcade version of RBI to the NES. So while Tengen released RBI Baseball in the US, most of the initial work on the game was done over in Japan by Namco. Confused yet?
