1987 Gamestar (UK)
by Scott Orr and Mark Madland
This is not a bad game, but isn't good either. The bigger graphics on the right are well drawn the other half is awful and the same incoherence happens thru out the game in various ways.
The gameplay is a bit confusing but once you get the hang of it its very addictive.
The keys could be a little bit more responsive, but my worse complaint is the difficulty in catching the ball way on the field, it's too hard, making the game unfair for the human player. You also get a blind opponent when throwing the ball. I mean blind because the computer manages to fail almost every hit, thus making the game dull.
With a bit of luck you can surpass all of this and enjoy it, like I used to had back in 1985 with 'World Series Baseball' from Imagine Software which I think is much better.

Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd. Yes it's a baseball game and honestly it's not very good, the graphics are a bit of a mess, hitting the ball is a pain and it took me 16 years to throw the ball! It's far too complex and far too complicated. Oh well...I never really liked baseball anyway.
