Hello.

Besides the stratomatic baseball game, there is an older game called Apba 
Broadcast Blast, put out by Apba.  They still sell it at
http://www.apbastadium.com and the game is called baseball for windows. 
They are apparently making a new version, but no new announcements have 
been coming out for the last two years or so.


The cool thing about this game is that it is completely voiced by Ernie 
Harwell, including all names.  What they do is have a database of several 
thousand names on the cd-rom, and even if a team or player is represented 
by one letter due to copyrights etc, the names are still in the database, 
and you can rename the players or teams as needed.As you may guess, do 
to all the files, the game must be run from the cd-rom each time, but it 
is very quick in spite of that.  . Lol.


In other news, there may be some baseball games and other sports games 
coming sometime in the very very distant future.  If a certain someone 
with the initials of J H learns programming enough to do so.  But right 
now, this J H person is quietly learning all he needs to in order to make 
something of high quality, and will say no more at this time. grin

Hi Dennis,
As there are several baseball games available right now, it would be 
unlikely that I would want to spend the time to do another.
If a legitimate programmer wanted to do an updated game I would be 
willing to help them.

Hi Dennis,
I remember the World Series Baseball game as I worked with Harry on the
game.
It would take quite a while to do a Windows version as it can not be
created with a game engine and probably would need to be coded from
scratch.
It would have to be voiced with SAPI as it contains hundreds of 
player's

names.
Right now there is a commercial version of a similar game called
Strat-O-Matic baseball simulator,
but I think it costs about $70.

For those who don't know, Harry developed WSBB over a 15 year period
starting as a GW basic program and increased in complexity each year.
You play as both team managers and could play against a friend but only 
on

the same computer.

h I have always wanted something like this.
hmm this may even get me to play the kitchensinc games again.
I am however not from the usa.
the games I mostly hear about therefore are rugby, tenis, badminton, soccer.
rugby is the national sport and I'd jump at the chance to have a rugby sim 
weather it was off or online.
