pc_bball: MAME ROM Information. History:
Base Ball (c) 1984 Nintendo of America, Inc.
A baseball game. Players pick from a list of teams. Time-points are awarded per credit which are either increased with runs batted in or decreased by opponent's runs or just regular plays. 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.
* 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.
