- 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 truly 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 National League season for every team in the league (972
- games) can be played out on a 25mHz 80386 in about 35 minutes. A 162
- game schedule for one team can be completed in about 6 minutes.
