Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!  This week's intro story will be a repeat.  You can tune in two weeks from now for a brand new intro!  (Hey, sometimes Bimmy needs a week off from writing   )  Enjoy this oldie, but a goodie!


This week’s game is going to take you out to the ball game where you can buy some peanuts and Cracker Jacks and root, root, root for the home team!  I’m Bimmy Ruth Jr. and I’ve assembled some of the greatest baseball players ever to take on our arch rivals, the dreaded Abobos! And I have just the perfect team to send those guys boo-hooing back to the dugout.  First of all, I have all-star slugger Williams Mays on my team.  He can hit a homerun outside the ballpark any time, any place.  Next up, I have hit-master Rowper Ripkin Jr. on my side.  He hits the ball so many times that he’s been to third base more times than I have…Wait, what!?  Why are you laughing?  You guys don’t think I’ve scored with a girl at all??  Well, let me tell you, I’ve scored with plenty of girls over the years!  Just because Rowper Ripkin Jr. has had like 10 girlfriends in the last month to my one all-time doesn’t mean I’m a dud of a stud!  Anyway, my team boasts one of the top players in the game in Jawbreaker Jeter (don’t know who Jawbreaker is?  Think Double Dragon V)!  With his shortstop skills, he will be tagging out those lunkheaded dummyheads well before they reach third base!  See, Abobos, I can score before you guys!  What girl wants to be with some ‘roided up idiot when she can have a piece of the Bimmster?  Oh, and how can I forget about having Countdown Cobb on my team (Countdown…yeah another Double Dragon V guy)!  He’s so powerful that he will be slugging balls out of the ballpark faster than you can say “Seventh inning stretch.”  I also have Linda Gehrig on my team to blast some balls into the outfield and make the Abobos scurry around faster than the rat in the Battletoads Rat Race level on the NES!  Um, yeah, she is a GIRL, so WHAT?!  Look, don’t judge a book by its cover.  Just because she has a Mohawk, looks really butch, is a little light in her loafers, likes to wear baseball jackets, and loves munching on carpet doesn’t mean she sucks at baseball!  In fact, she’s a baseball ALL-STAR!  And my last secret weapon is my brother, the ultimate all-star.  The home-run hitter, the master of stealing bases, the bunter of balls, the one, the only, Jimmy Griffey Jr.  Wait, what do you mean we don’t have the same last name?  We had the same father!  Doesn’t that count for something?  You don’t see me judging you!  Anyway, these shirtless idiots are going to really regret kidnapping my girlfriend AND clogging up my toilet!  You guys think the Mexican food was nasty the last time, wait until you see what Thai food has done to my stomach!  Hope you have a good plumber!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!  Oh…uh...sorry.  I seem to have gotten a little carried away.  It’s just that revenge has never been so SWEET…especially when you have eaten sweet and sour AND spicy Thai sauce!  Boy, “Revenge” sounds like such a good idea for a sequel.  I really need to use that.  I’ve been talking about it for so long that…Oh, sorry.  I’m rambling on now.  Here is what you need to know to help us defeat those Abobo knuckleheads in good old R.B.I. Baseball:

• 1 player only
• You may use the Licensed or Unlicensed version of the game (they're both the same)
• Choose whichever team you want
• Play against whichever team you want
• You must play a whole game (mercy beating a team is okay)
• Take your picture after the game ends on the screen that looks like a newspaper
• Your score will be the differential between your score and the computer’s score
• Ex: You 7 CPU 2 = score of 5
• Ex: You 2 CPU 7 = score of -5
• Greatest (positive) differential between your score and the computer wins.
• Participation: Play a whole game (mercy beating a team is okay)
• GENRE: Sports

The contest ends Sunday, 3/25/18 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.  Good luck everyone and have fun

2 (11-9)

is a mercy in the first inning better than a mercy in a later inning? 

Nice. This is one I've only played for a few minutes

Score: 10



 

Well, Mr. Burns had done it,
The Power Plant had won it,
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.

W'ere talkin' softball,
From Maine to San Diego,
Talkin' softball,
Mattingly and Canseco,
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw,
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,
We're talkin Homer
Ozzie and the Straw




 

You may want to ban the trick of pitching from one side and steering it towards the other side. Eg You do it by moving the pitcher all the way to the left and throwing it all the way right. It's tough to describe, but it basically makes the computer strike out every time.

That’s not a trick,but rather a pitching strategy.  
 

I might skip this week. Sports games are not really my thing.

I'll bring the pain when we play Palamedes in a couple weeks.

It seems more like a bug. It's 100% impossible for the computer to score if that's done.

Go for participation at least.

 

It’s not a bug,the AI is just really stupid. I mean if you could press left,right,and B three times and get a run added to your score...now that would be a trick. And a bug in this game is the occasional time where you can actually throw the ball into the stands.  

 

***SUPERJIMTENDO - GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!!***

Anyone who posts a participation score will be entered to win!
one lucky (or unlucky) winner will be chosen at random

the prize is a set of two prototype kickle resin casts!

the larger of the two is the original first ever prototype and its mold has been destroyed, its a one of a kind!
the second is the first cast of the of the second mold!

🎝Homerun Homer...

Ok, if we're allowing that trick for pitching then consider this my entry! I messed it up a couple times and the computer got some runs though   Differential is 6 points.

The hard part about this game is maximizing how badly you mercy rule the computer. I used to be able to get above 20-0 back in the day, but it's been awhile and I'm in China for work and won't be able to play. The best strategy is to make the game 9-0 until a certain inning when the opposing pitcher gets tired and the AI won't pull him (I think the 3rd). Then score as many as you can that inning.

Damn! I've got a lot to learn. Good tip.

Dude. I want this.
 

What happens if two people get a 10-0 game in the first inning with no outs?

It doesn’t end at 10-0 automatically so you can use all your outs and score more than 10 in the first but that was kind of what I was asking too
I guess the inning doesnt matter though sounds like you’ll have to be up by 9 at the end of one inning and then just pile on runs the next 

 

11 (12-1)

Big plans are on the horizon. 
 

22 (23-1)

This is the best I've ever done, by far.


 

27-0 = 27
