A baseball game. Players pick from a list of teams. The game-play can be very frustrating because infielders may not pick up a ball at their feet since they are waiting for another player to come over and pick it up.

TIPS AND TRICKS

* The computer (AI) is very tough to defeat, but if you practice it and play for a while, you'll be able to beat them.

* Try not to run around the bases too often. The controls are really bad actually and sometimes respond too late, resulting in an Out for you. When you reach the base, stay there.

* The 4th batter is usually your strongest hitter.

* Hit right/left while the ball is in the air to curve the ball accordingly. You can even curve the ball right AND left in one throw.

* All the teams possess the same abilities, so it doesn't matter which team you choose either in 1- or 2-player games.
