Video Description:
Before I discovered Mugen, I used to play a lot of very old games like Nintendo games, Super Mario, etc.
Here's an old game that you might or might not enjoy.
So be warned....
=============================================
This is me playing Vs. Baseball on using the MAME32K Emulator, my team is the Dodgers vs. the Royals.
Description below...please read.
==============================================
Vs. Baseball is a simple baseball video game made by Nintendo in 1983 for the Nintendo Family Computer, making it one of the first games released for the Famicom. It was later one of the NES's 18 launch titles when it was released in 1985 in the United States. As in real baseball, the object of the game is to score the most runs. Up to two players are supported. Each player can select from one of six teams. Although there is no difference between them other than uniform color, they are meant to represent the six members of the Japanese Central League.
================================================
How to control:
Pitching
A button -- normal pitch
A button + Control Pad left - curve ball
A button + Control Pad right - curve ball
A button + Control Pad up - changeup
A button + Control Pad down - fastball
B button + Control Pad (in direction of specific base) - throw to that base (only when there are players on base)
Batting
A button - swing
Note: The longer the button is held, the more the swing will go through. So, if the button is tapped lightly, the batter will stop the bat halfway and make a bunt.
Control Pad - move batter
B button + Control Pad (in direction of specific base) - make a runner lead off/steal from that base
Baserunning
A button + Control Pad (in direction of specific base) - return runner to that base
B button + Control Pad (in direction of specific base) - make a runner advance from that base
Note: Pressing down on the Control Pad will advance/return all runners
Fielding
A or B button + Control Pad (in direction of specific base) - throw ball to that base
=================================================
Probably due to the NES's limitations, the gameplay itself is rather limited. Although the player could pitch and bat well enough, fielding was almost entirely automatic. The CPU would control any fielder who did not have the ball, meaning grounders and pop-ups would have to be fielded without input from the player. Once a fielder grabs the ball, he can then be controlled, although he cannot move except for a base.
In the NES release of the game, the six playable teams were changed to represent MLB pennant winners of the early 1980s.
A team: Houston Astros (Tokyo Yurumi Giants)
C team: St. Louis Cardinals (Hiroshima Carp)
D team: Los Angeles Dodgers (Chunnichi Dragons)
P team: Philadelphia Phillies ( Tokyo Yakult Swallows)
R team: Kansas City Royals (Yokoyama BayStars)
Y team: New York Yankees (Hashin Tigers)
