It has some really excellent graphics. The joystick throwing of the baseball takes some time to learn, but you pick up on it eventually. Two modes of play: computer/player, player/ player. I like the cheerleaders that appear between occasional innings and one fan in the bleachers occasionally (have to watch for this one... very occasionally) stands up and says something. Pretty neat. Out of 10: an 8. By Mastertronic. 2) Rambo: First Blood Part II - Another winner. I liked the arcade game quite a bit. Picked up this little baby for $6.99 (again at Kohl's). Plays exactly (okay, almost exactly...the joystick isn't attached at an angle below the screen {get some tape and a board, do it yourself}) like the arcade game. Great graphics. Good music (if you can stand listening to it) or turn off the music and listen to the noise of your rocket launcher, M-60 (probably...knowing Rambo), helicopter, etc. Three phases of play and more than one level (how many? Don't know, haven't got past the first yet). Out of 10: a 9. By Thunder Mountain Software. Presented by Angelsoft. Good, cheap deals for Christmas. Have a good one!
