Not very exciting, but fairly enjoyable. This baseball game is based on a Tiger Electronics handheld game as well as an 83 BASIC game by Bill Nagel. Hope you enjoy it! 2) System Requirements ------------------- a)A TI-83(+) of course! b)ION (availible at www.ticalc.org) 3) Controls -------- key action --- ------ ENTER = Start Pitch 2ND = Swings Bat MODE = Shut Down calculator DEL = Save game and quit CLEAR = Exit (Saves if Season game) 4)Instructions on gameplay ------------------------ When you start Baseball '99, you'll be greeted with a cool title picture drawn by Michael Meaders aka ManjiLump. Then you must choose one of 3 modes of play. For all three modes, the player can type in their own name. Opposing team names are selected randomly from a list of real MLB teams. The first is HomeRun Derby. It can be played with one or two players with alternating at bats. HomeRun Derby is almost self explanatory. You get fifteen outs to hit a home run, and anything other than a homerun is an out(including would-be singles). See the controls section for how to play. Exhibition Mode is your standard baseball game that can also be played with one or two players on the same calculator. Games are 9 innings long unless after 9, the score is tied. If Player 2 is leading after 8 1/2 innings, they do not bat in the bottom of the ninth. Basic baseball rules apply: 4 balls=walk, 3 strikes=out, 3 outs= change turns/inning over, 9 innings= game over. Season Mode plays identically to Exhibition mode, but with a new twist. Stats are kept. It can only be played in one player mode. When you start, be sure to enter a correct name for it will last you your entire 50 game season. During the season, homerun and run totals as well as win/loss records will be kept. To prevent cheating, a season game can not be aborted once started, pressing CLEAR will merely save the game until you wish to resume. 5)Known Bugs --------- *NONE* 6)Future Versions --------------- *Fix any bugs that you report *The sequel will be released soon! 7)Thank You's ----------- Bill Nagel for the background picture Michael Meaders for the title pic Greg Sharp for his title pic attempt Derrick Ward for maintaining our site Patrick Davidson for teaching and getting me interested in ASM Dines Justesen for ASH v3.0+ Wouter Demuynck for ZCP 82 (saved me 400 bytes!)
