- HOW TO PLAY
- -----------
-
- BASEBALL.BAS is an MBASIC game program in which you are the "Manager"
- of a Major League Team and are pitted against the computer. Virtually all
- of the action (except for individual balls and strikes) is available with
- BASEBALL.BAS -- You can WALK, hit a SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE, HOME RUN, or
- SACRIFICE OUT, GROUND OUT, FLY OUT, STRIKE OUT, make an ERROR, hit into a
- DOUBLE PLAY, etc.
-
- Most items are self-explanatory; however, you should make note of the
- following:
-
- (1) Whenever you press "2" or "3" (when a batter is up), it will
- change the random number selector.
-
- (2) When you press "3" (when a batter is up), you will see both
- team's batting averages. If your team is up, you may select to "bring in"
- a Utility Player. If the opposing team is up, you may select to bring in
- a Relief Pitcher.
-
- (3) Although this is intended primarily for the BASCOM Compiled
- Version, whenever a batter is up and you press the "ESC" Key or "CTRL-C",
- the game will be ended immediately. (Called on account of rain!!)
