FEATURES:
Lets you create your own "Field of Dreams". Not an arcade game, but a
character-based program that let's you pit your favorite teams
(old-timer or modern-era) against each other.
> Versatility
You can play against a computer-managed opponent or against a friend.
You can pick the line-ups and call the shots. But perhaps the most fun
is letting the teams play against themselves. You can simulate ENTIRE
SEASONS at a time while saving all the interesting statistics for later
examination. You can use SBS as a tool to test different line-ups and
batting orders for effectiveness. Discover which teams play better "on
paper" than they do in real-life (and what that implies about their
real-life managers!).
> Speed
An entire season for every team in the league can be played out on a
25mHz 80386 in about 1 hour. A 162 game schedule for one team can be
completed in about 10 minutes.
> Statistics
Hitting statistics saved are: Batting Average, At-Bats, Runs, Hits, 2Bs,
3Bs, HRs, RBIs, BB, Strike-Outs, Stolen Bases and Caught Stealing.
Pitching stats saved are: Innings Pitched, Hits, Runs, Earned Runs, BBs,
Strike-Outs, Wins, Losses and Saves, Games, Games started. Errors are
also tracked.
> Build your own teams!
Lots of old-timer teams are included. But you can also easily create
your own teams from ASCII text files. Just use the existing ones as
models. Registered users receive data files for the preceding season.
Registration is only $9.95.
