Dokaben
棒球英豪
Dokaben is an action arcade game released by Capcom in 1989. Players control a baseball player engaging in combat-focused gameplay rather than traditional baseball mechanics. The game features side-scrolling action with beat-em-up elements, where the player uses baseball-themed attacks and moves against enemies across multiple stages. Controls involve standard arcade inputs for movement, jumping, and performing attacks. The game progresses through sequential levels with increasing difficulty and variety in enemy types. Dokaben combines sports imagery with arcade action gameplay typical of Capcom's output from that era.
