- PLAY BALL!!!
-
-
-
- This table was designed on the PINBALL CONSTRUCTION SET created by
- Bill Budge / Electronic Arts, and portions are copyrighted by them.

- Following is a general description of the play-field and scoring. Read
- only the next 2 screens if you, like me, like to find out the scoring on
- a new table the hard (fun) way. ( The last screen is the scoring data. )

- ( general description next )

- There is no shooter on this table. ( ?!? !#%*-_$Z$%|*%!?&%!!????? )
-
-
- The playfield is in the general form of a baseball field, so-o-o -- -- I
- decided that the only proper place for the ball to start from was the mound.
-
- The mound is only a small blue stripe on the field, the white disk is the ball.
- Home plate is paint. So are the baselines. All three bases are rollovers.
- (This is info that we could see if this were a real table, so fair by the
- above para.) The gloves hide "ball eaters" or ball drains, holes in the table's
- surface. These can only catch a ball from below on the screen, the two smaller
- have roofs that lean towards the center, the larger's roof leans down to both
- sides from center.
-
- THIS IS A HARD TABLE TO SCORE HIGH ON, 500K is ____ably good, IF you can get
- it.
-
- "Here's the pitch ..." ... Crack!

-
- Right flipper rotates from 1 to 4 players and back again, Left flipper locks
- the number in and starts play. <ESC> (escape) will at any time exit the game
- and return you to DOS.
-
- If you have a joystick or KOALAPAD, it's (or the one attached AS one) top/left
- button is the left flipper, the bottom/front/right button is the right flipper.
-
- If you don't, use <enter> to see the table at the "Center the joy..." prompt,
- then use the left shift for the left flipper, same for the right shift key.
-
- The ball sometimes seems to get hung bouncing around in the corners, but it
- will (pause for a drink of water) come out shortly.
-
- As to the trick it sometimes pulls getting out of the lower right corner, I
- think that it sometimes has to get a running start to scramble up the outside
- of the batter's box so it can launch itself at third base. ( It usually misses,
- though. )
