Baseball Simulator 1.000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baseball Simulator 1.000 is a NES baseball game where the player can either control a normal baseball team or a special baseball team with secret hitting and pitching plays to boost their chances of winning. There are many special plays, but examples of this are:
- Hitters
1) The ball, after being hit, would cause an earthquake on the first bounce, and fielders would be unable to move for a short time. 2) If you get in the way of a line drive, you would be driven back to the fence and smashed, depending on the height of the line drive.
- Pitchers
3) The pitched ball would become a lead cannonball in mid air, making it almost impossible to hit unless the batter was using a special play, too. On rare occasions you can hit the cannonball with an ordinary swing. 4) Another featured pitch is the super fastball which would regularly reach close to 120 MPH.
However, a 'special' team had only so many points to use on special plays during a game, and after the points ran out, they were just like a normal baseball team (although they still had better than normal baseball talent).
Within Baseball Simulator 1.000, there is an exhibition mode, a regular season mode, and a team edit mode that allows the player to make his own players to form a customized baseball team.
A magic number appears during the regular season, telling the leading team how many victories they have to make until they are assured the pennant.
Games can be either 1, 3, 6, or 9 innings long. A season can be as long as 6, 30, 60, 120 and 165 games. Out of the 18 possible teams, you can only have 6 teams in a division/league during the season.
Also hitters on first place teams tend to lose their power when their team holds a 5 game lead or higher over the second place team. The same goes for the pitchers and their stamina.
Because this game was made prior to the ESRB, this game has not been rated.
