Pete Rose Baseball © 1988 Absolute Entertainment, Incorporated.
A traditional baseball game. The game is viewed from the pitcher's perspective. Pitchers can throw fast balls, curves, change-ups, screwballs and sinkers. When the ball is hit the game switches to one of five camera angles consisting of two infield and three outfield perspectives.
Model AK-045
Tips from Alex DeMeo:
"To judge a fly ball, chase the ball's shadow - NOT THE BALL ITSELF! It'll always land to your advantage - trust me!"
"Remember to watch the flashing arrows in the small baseball diamond at the top of your screen, when trying to decide which base you want to throw the ball to."
"Of course, official baseball rules apply... 3 strikes, you're out, 4 balls, take your base. 3 outs, the innings over. And so on."
Programmer: Alex DeMeo
NOTE: When the game appeared decades later as part of the compilation packs listed below, it was renamed to simply 'Baseball' due to the licensing deal with Pete Rose having expired.
