Ladies and gentleman, we finally got to the game that everyone was waiting for!
Who here is REAAAAAADY FOR SOFTBALL????

This week our mighty competitors will show off their skill on the hardest of all hard sports, virtual softball on Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball!
Here are the rules for this exciting week:
  • 1 player only
  • Start a new game
  • Select Fast Pitch
  • Choose the Sandlot as your field
  • Choose your team of players.  You will choose 10 players for your team while the computer picks their team at the same time.  Choose your players wisely (and hope the computer doesn’t take the player you want)
  • Choose your team name and set your starting lineup, fielding positions, and batting order to whatever you want
  • Play an entire game
  • Take your picture once the game has ended (on the screen that shows the final score and the password)
  • Your score will be the differential between your score and the computer’s score
  • Ex: You 10 CPU 5 = score of 5
  • Ex: You 5 CPU 10 = score of -5
  • In the event of a tie, the score made with less innings takes precedence, and if it is still tied, whoever has scored the most points will break the tie.
  • You cannot pause and unpause the game while you are batting to force the pitcher position to change. Anyone suspected of doing that will have their score disconsidered.
  • Greatest differential between your score and the computer wins.  A positive score takes preference over a negative score.
  • GENRE: Sports
The contest ends Sunday, 07/07/19 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.

If it were easy, they'd call it baseball.

about to head on a trip, sadly this is probably all I have time for this week. Quirky little game. Mastering the strength of the individual players seems to be the key to this one.

Holy shit. This game reminds me of another game I love and play often.
I mean, this one is much more crude and graphics-challenged, but fun game none the less.

It did. I was up and then out of no where this team puts on a freaking clinic. This was a post of phone try. Will repost in a bit or post a better one later.

Ah, makes sense. Hadn’t considered a single brutal final inning
